Abstract

Since the late 20th century, the speed of digital data acquisition and processing from multi-element ultrasonic arrays has increased dramatically. We are now in the age of ‘computational ultrasound’ where NDE performance advances are increasingly driven by superior data analysis rather than new physics or sensors. In this talk I will look back over some of the developments in which I have been involved, including guided wave arrays for large area inspection and ultrasonic arrays for localised inspection. I will discuss how computational ultrasound can benefit from deep learning techniques and the crucial role it will play in Industry 4.0.
