Abstract:
A CWT-based method to calculate transmission coefficients of different Lamb waves using individual LEU signals. A neural network was trained to accurately predict WPDs based on the transmission coefficients of selected Lamb waves and the LEU signal energy. The method is capable of inspecting WPDs quickly along welds in thin structures.
