Description

• I worked on online inspection technology based on Ultrasonic Guided Waves to detect defects in pipes with long and sharp bends.

• Finite Element modeling of straight and curved pipe geometries was used to develop a methodology to derive characteristics of the ultrasonic waves, to facilitate the experiments and testing to detect pipe defects.

• The methodology was used for prediction of behavior in complex geometries like curved pipes. Various pipe configurations were analyzed to relate external and internal defect detection for different bend radii.
