Ultrasonic wave methods constitute the leading physical mechanism for nondestructive
evaluation (NDE) and structural health monitoring (SHM) of solid composite materials, such …

In this work we present the optimisation of the oxidative steam reforming of ethanol for
hydrogen production in order to feed a Solid Polymer Fuel Cell (SPFC) over a Ni–Cu/SiO2 …

This review paper presents a unified treatment of the numerical time-domain modeling of
acoustic, electromagnetic, and elastodynamic waves and of the combination thereof: this …

Knowledge of the grain orientation quantifies the material anisotropy which helps to ensure
the good ultrasonic testing of welded assemblies and the assessment of their mechanical …

Multipass welds made in austenitic stainless steel, in the primary circuit of nuclear power
plants with pressurized water reactors, are characterized by an anisotropic and …

Conventional ultrasonic detection methods are commonly used for detecting austenitic
stainless steel weld structure. The anisotropy and inhomogeneity of the weld produces a …

Ultrasonic inspection of austenitic welds is challenging due to their highly anisotropic and
heterogeneous microstructure. The weld anisotropy causes a steering of the ultrasonic …

The degradation of ultrasonic array images due to propagation through an anisotropic
material presents a significant inspection problem to the engineering industry. If the …
