IUCRC for Effects of Surface Roughness on Ultrasonic Inspectability

该奖项为两个I/UCRC的联合研究项目提供资金。爱荷华州立大学非破坏性评估中心和俄亥俄州立大学研究基金会。提出的研究将从理论和实验两个方面解决利用超声技术通过粗糙表面和薄非均匀层的界面检测缺陷的问题。提出的研究将为表面质量对内部缺陷检测概率的影响提供重要的知识扩展。超声波无损检测领域对于确定建筑、飞机、潜艇、桥梁等结构构件的性能至关重要。每个中心的IAB已经批准了这项研究及其配套资金。项目主任建议向俄亥俄州立大学提供5万美元为期两年的资助。

This award provides funds for a joint research project between two I/UCRC's. The Center for Non-destructive evaluation at Iowa State University and the Ohio State University Research Foundation. The proposed study will address both theoretical and experimental aspects of detecting flaws through rough surface and interfaces in thin inhomogeneous layers using ultrasonic techniques. The proposed research will provide a significant extension of knowledge of the impact of surface quality on the probability of detection of interior defects. The area of ultrasonic NDE is critical to the establishment of the performance of structural elements in buildings, airplanes, submarines, bridges etc. The IAB of each center has approved this research and their matching funds. The Program Director recommends a grant of $50,000 for two years be awarded to Ohio State University.
