Application of frequency-domain algorithms in ultrasound imaging of composite materials

Non-destructive ultrasonic testing of composite materials requires imaging algorithms which could be applied for anisotropic structures. At present, time-domain techniques are used for this purpose. However, it is evident that this method has lower computational speed compared with frequency-domain algorithms. This paper discusses advanced approach off frequency-domain techniques for multilayer composite materials inspection. The proposed method is based on multi-layer omega-k (MULOK) ultrasound frequency-domain imaging algorithms. It is shown that MULOK algorithms enable highly accurate reconstruction within a higher computational speed
