Automated ultrasonic measuring system
Abstract
An experiment in which a microcomputer in the single-chip mode is utilized to control an acoustic-imaging process is described. The experiment was conducted using an aluminum specimen with a spherical deformation on the upper surface, a noncontact-piezoelectric transducers to transmit waves, and an eight-bit microprocessor. The effects of deformation on the transmitted acoustic waves and on the reflected ultrasonic waves are investigated. Intensity distributions for the specimen are studied. Block diagrams of the automated ultrasonic-measuring system are provided.
