Highly Efficient Transducer Arrays Useful In Nondestructive Testing Applications
Abstract Two types of highly efficient transducer arrays are described which couple acoustic energy into the samples imaged in nondestructive testing applications. The first type of array utilizes fully slotted, double quarter-wave matched elements to couple the acoustic energy from the high impedance ceramic to water, which is used as the transmitting medium. One such 180 element linear array ...
