Identification of laser-generated ultrasounds in the response of the cylinder over time and space.
A theoretical solution is presented to identify laser-generated ultrasounds in the transient response over time and space of a cylinder impacted by a laser line pulse. Theoretical radial displacements at various observation angles are obtained for an aluminum cylinder under thermoelastic regime. The corresponding displacements are observed experimentally by the laser ultrasonic technique. Good agreement is found in the time arrival, shape and relative amplitude of surface waves and various longitudinal and transverse bulk waves. These laser-generated ultrasounds are further identified by the ray trajectory analysis. This work will be helpful for the inverse problem of the nondestructive evaluation of cylinder parts.
