Extende - Guided Wave Testing Module with CIVA

A wide range of UT probes, standard and advanced designs can be handled:

• Piezo electric-like Transducer with or without wedge, Magnetostrictive-like probes or EMAT probes (involves a coupling with CIVA ET)
• Single element or phased-array probes (see Phased Arrays section)
• Encircling or encircled probes for pipe inspection
• Different types of solicitations (shear or longitudinal vibration)
• Different configurations (Pulse-Echo, Pitch-Catch transmission or Pitch-Catch reflection)

Planar structures and pipe-like structures (with possibly some discontinuities) are considered for guiding waves by CIVA. The specimen may be homogeneous or heterogeneous, taking into account a coating for example. Each medium should be isotropic and attenuation laws may be considered. This is also possible to account for pipes filled with fluid or to compute modes and beams on parts having 2D CAD cross section, such as rails. Buried pipes can be considered in the mode computation module. Anisotropic materials (such as CRFP-like composites) can be considered in the mode computation module.
