Abstract

The article presents a new method for measuring the ultrasonic wave attenuation ratio in inhomogeneous material by processing structural noise (SN) realizations taking into account the frequency dependence pattern of ultrasonic wave attenuation ratio, the converter directivity characteristics and their frequency dependences. A pulse with a broad-base linear modulation is suggested to be used as the probing signal. A structural noise realization processing algorithm is proposed, which includes determination of the SN dispersion variation law by integrating SN realizations in a sliding window, a procedure for eliminating the influence of side factors, the taking of logarithm of the obtained dependence, and a linear regression operation. In order to obtain more accurate results, it is recommended to apply an iterative process with using a correction function. For experimentally verifying the method, the ultrasonic wave attenuation ratio in a concrete block was measured using both the classical shadow method and the proposed technique. Good agreement between the measurement results has confirmed the efficiency of the new technique, which can be used for monitoring the state of bulky objects with one-sided access.
