Interactively configurable imaging array chip (SKED)

Speckle Knife Edge Detector (SKED) Background SKED is an innovative technology for detecting laser ultrasonic waves on the surface of a ?rough? sample. The problem with conventional ultrasonic (non-laser) is that it requires contacting transducers to generate and detect the ultrasonic waves. This means the methods are unsuitable for inaccessib...

Spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy imaging (SRAS)

Measuring material microstructure Summary An exciting new ultrasonic technique known as Spatially Resolved Acoustic Spectroscopy (SRAS) has been developed at the University of Nottingham. This technique, which can replaced EBSD, can direct image the microstructure of materials ? for example titanium, steel and aluminium and be used to measur...
