Non-Linear Electro-Ultrasonic Spectroscopy of Resistive Materials
Tofel, Pavel ; Koktavý, Bohumil (oponent) ; Smulko, Janusz (oponent) ; Šikula, Josef (vedoucí práce)
All materials contain cracks and micro-cracks in structure. My aim is to detect these cracks. Electro-Ultrasonic spectroscopy is a non–destructive testing method which describes quality and reliability of a tested sample. Tested sample is excited by the harmonic electrical signal of frequency fE and ultrasonic signal of frequency fU. A new harmonic signal of the frequency fi is created as a result of electrical resistance change due to the variation of the crack effective area by ultrasonic excitation. The intermodulation frequency fi is given by the subtraction of excitation frequencies fE and fU. Amplitude of the intermodulation signal at frequency fi is influenced by the electric current, which flows through the sample structure, and resistance change, which is ultrasonically induced due to the defects and unhomogeneities in a sample structure. High sensitivity of this method comes from the fact that the frequencies of exciting sources and measured signal are on different frequencies. The signal-to-noise ratio and high sensitivity for NDT analyses are based on the application of electrical filters for attenuation of exciting signals in signal preprocessing. Experimental verification of this method was performed on various samples such as magnesium alloy, aluminium and dural plates, both without and with cracks, varisotors, MOS FET transistor, rock samples, monocrystals Si and CdTe. This work presents a new non-destructive testing method of solids with metallic electrical conductivity, monocrystals, resistive materials and electronic devices.
