We study displacement and strain measurement error of dual transducers (two linear arrays, aligned orthogonally and coplanar). Displacements along the beam of each transducer are used to obtain measurements in two-dimensions. Simulations (5 MHz) and experiments (10 MHz) are compared to measurements with a single linear array, with and without angular compounding. Translation simulations demonstrate factors of 1.07 larger and 8.0 smaller biases in the axial and lateral directions respectively, for dual transducers compared to angular compounding. As the angle between dual transducers decreases from 90 degrees to 40 degrees, for 1% compression simulations, the lateral RMS error ranges from 2.1 to 3.9 mu m compared to 9 mu m with angular compounding. Simulation of dual transducer misalignment of 1 mm and 2 degrees result in errors of less than 9 mu m. Experiments demonstrate factors of 3.0 and 5.2 lower biases for dual transducers in the axial and lateral directions respectively compared to angular compounding. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
