Abstract:

The experiments made with the Time Reversal Mirror prototype of 121 elements, with 330 mm radius of curvature and working at 5 MHz, allow to detect small defects located beneath a complex geometry interface with a high signal to noise. The time reversal process is a self adaptive technique and all the acoustic energy of the system naturally focus on the defect. The wavefront distortions induce by the direct propagation are naturally compensate during the inverse one. C-SCAN acquisition allows to make an accurate cartography of the sample on which a 0.4 mm diameter flat bottom hole at 65 mm depth appears on a large zone and emerges from the microstructure noise. On the contrary of a conventional technique, the time reversal procedure automatically produces a focussed beam matched to the defect shape and doesn't require an exact positionning of the 2-D array above the flaw. These performances shows the potential of the time reversal process which seems to be the most adapted technique to be used for industrial problems. F33,B13,H13,A25
