Acoustography Image

Shown here is the ultrasonic evaluation of a 16-ply graphite/epoxy composite specimen containing impact damage using Acoustography  and conventional C-scan technique at approximately 3.5 MHz.  As seen in the result, the ability of Acoustography  to detect the impact is comparable to the C-scan method.  However, the superior resolution of Acoustography  is evident with its ability to reveal the fibrous nature of the specimen.
