Abstract:
Producing accurate thickness maps of corrosion damage is of great importance for assessing life in the petrochemical industry. Guided wave tomography provides a solution for this, by sending guided waves through the region of interest, then using tomographic imaging techniques to reconstruct the thickness map, importantly eliminating the need to take measurements at all points across the surface. However, to achieve accurate maps, the imaging algorithm must account for the way in which the guided waves interact with corrosion defects, and the complex scattering which occurs. Traditional approaches have exploited the dispersive nature of guided waves: a velocity map is produced from a dataset, then converted to thickness using the dispersion relationship. However, these relationships are derived for plates of constant thickness, which is not the case in the majority of defects, causing significant inaccuracies to exist in the images. This paper develops a more sophisticated inversion solution which accounts for the full-guided wave scattering, enabling more accurate images with resolution better than a wavelength, compared with two wavelengths previously. This is demonstrated with simulated and experimental data. The speed and stability of the algorithm in the presence of random noise and systematic errors is also demonstrated.

Abstract:
Accurate inversion is vital for quantitative imaging, including ultrasonic guided wave tomography, where thickness maps of plate-like structures are reconstructed to quantify corrosion damage. The dispersive properties of guided waves are often exploited to enable thickness maps to be produced from wave speed reconstructions. Ray tomography, diffraction tomography and a hybrid algorithm combining their features were investigated to reconstruct wave speed. Test data produced from simple defects of different sizes using a realistic full elastic guided wave model and the equivalent idealized acoustic model were passed to the imaging algorithms, generating wave speed maps, and, from these, thickness maps. For both datasets, ray tomography exhibited poor resolution. Diffraction tomography performed better, but was limited to shallow, small defects. The hybrid algorithm achieved the best results, giving a resolution around 1.5–2 wavelengths from the realistic test data compared to half wavelength from the idealized case. These results were validated with experimental data, and also extended to a realistic corrosion patch confirming the trends demonstrated with simple defects. The resolution loss with realistic data compared with idealized data indicates the acoustic model cannot accurately capture guided wave scattering and an alternative approach is necessary for better resolution reconstructions.

Abstract:
Localized flaws such as corrosions in petroleum pipelines often cause fragility, impairing integrity and shortening service lifetime of the structures. There has been much interest recently in monitoring the integrity of the pipe structures. Ultrasonic guided waves provide a highly efficient technique for rapid pipe inspection because they can be made to propagate significant distances in pitch-catch configurations. Crosshole tomographic geometry is formed in such pitch-catch configurations when transmits and receivers are respectively laid along two parallel circumferential belts around the pipe. Considering the pipe as an unwrapped plate, we investigate the adapation of the tomographic reconstruction in seismology to the guided wave inspection of a pipe. Various effects such as transducer arrangement, mesh precision, sampling interval and iterative algorithm on tomographic reconstruction are analyzed. The results provide a theoretical basis for quantitative detection of pipeline flaw using guided wave tomography.

Abstract:
The accurate quantification of wall loss caused by corrosion is critical to the reliable life estimation of pipes and pressure vessels. Traditional thickness gauging by scanning a probe is slow and requires access to all points on the surface; this is impractical in many cases as corrosion often occurs where access is restricted, such as beneath supports where water collects. Guided wave tomography presents a solution to this; by transmitting guided waves through the region of interest and exploiting their dispersive nature, it is possible to build up a map of thickness. While the best results have been seen when using the fundamental modes A0 and S0 at low frequency, the complex scattering of the waves causes errors within the reconstruction. It is demonstrated that these lead to an underestimate in wall loss for A0 but an overestimate for S0. Further analysis showed that this error was related to density variation, which was proportional to thickness. It was demonstrated how this could be corrected for in the reconstructions, in many cases resulting in the near-elimination of the error across a range of defects, and greatly improving the accuracy of life estimates from guided wave tomography.

Abstract:
Quantifying corrosion damage is vital for the petrochemical industry, and guided wave tomography can provide thickness maps of such regions by transmitting guided waves through these areas and capturing the scattering information using arrays. The dispersive nature of the guided waves enables a reconstruction of wave velocity to be converted into thickness. However, existing approaches have been shown to be limited in in-plane resolution, significantly short of that required to accurately image a defect target of three times the wall thickness (i.e. 3 T) in each in-plane direction. This is largely due to the long wavelengths of the fundamental modes commonly used, being around 4 T for both A0 and S0 at the typical operation points. In this work, the suitability of the first-order shear-horizontal guided wave mode, SH1, has been investigated to improve the resolution limit. The wavelength at the desired operating point is significantly shorter, enabling an improvement in resolution of around 2.4 times. This is first verified by realistic finite-element simulations and then validated by experimental results, confirming the improved resolution limit can now allow defects of maximum extent 3T-by-3T to be reliably detected and sized, i.e. a long-pursued goal of guided wave tomography has been achieved.

Abstract:
The detection and characterisation of corrosion type defects on pipelines is a major challenge for the petrochemical industry, especially in regions with poor accessibility. Guided wave tomography is one feasible approach to inspect areas with restricted access by transmitting guided waves through the area and then processing the measured wave field into a thickness map of the pipeline wall, without having to take measurements at all points on the surface. The key objective of this research project is to develop, implement and test a prototype guided wave tomography system based on the A0 Lamb mode. For the development of a guided wave tomography system a low-frequency, omni-directional A0 Lamb wave ElectroMagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) is developed, and operates at 0.50MHzmm on a steel plate. For that, a parametric Finite Element (FE) model is implemented in a commercially available FE software and a numerical optimization process employing a genetic algorithm is set up to optimised the EMAT design for an improved A0 mode selectivity. The FE model is validated against measurements on an aluminium plate and on a steel plate. A two-step model-based design approach is proposed whereby only the Lorentz force is used in the first step for the optimisation and then in a second step, a realistic estimate of the mode selectivity can be obtained by additionally considering the magnetisation force. The optimised design fulfils the S0 suppression design requirement and is integrated into the guided wave tomography system consisting of two ring arrays. The developed guided wave tomography system is tested on two steel pipes with smooth and well defined defect. The repeatability of measurements is assessed and the robustness of the guided wave tomography measurements to sensor position errors is investigated. It is demonstrated that there is a small influence on the thickness reconstruction for fairly large systematic and unsystematic position errors. Similar results are obtained for single sensor failures or gaps in the arrays and an increase in sensor spacing is found to increase reconstruction artefacts. With Golay complementary sequences, a signal processing technique is presented that allows for a significant increase in the data capture speed with the same performance as time averaging. Three areas with restricted access, support locations, pipe clamps and STOPAQ(R) coatings, are considered and their influence on the thickness reconstruction is investigated relative to a reference configuration and only a small influence is found in the experiments.

Abstract:
This dissertation concentrates on the development of two new tomographic techniques that enable wide-area inspection of pipe-like structures. By envisioning a pipe as a plate wrapped around upon itself, the previous Lamb Wave Tomography (LWT) techniques are adapted to cylindrical structures. Helical Ultrasound Tomography (HUT) uses Lamb-like guided wave modes transmitted and received by two circumferential arrays in a single crosshole geometry. Meridional Ultrasound Tomography (MUT) creates the same crosshole geometry with a linear array of transducers along the axis of the cylinder. However, even though these new scanning geometries are similar to plates, additional complexities arise because they are cylindrical structures. First, because it is a single crosshole geometry, the wave vector coverage is poorer than in the full LWT system. Second, since waves can travel in both directions around the circumference of the pipe, modes can also constructively and destructively interfere with each other. These complexities necessitate improved signal processing algorithms to produce accurate and unambiguous tomographic reconstructions. Consequently, this work also describes a new algorithm for improving the extraction of multi-mode arrivals from guided wave signals. Previous work has relied solely on the first arriving mode for the time-of-flight measurements. In order to improve the LWT, HUT and MUT systems reconstructions, improved signal processing methods are needed to extract information about the arrival times of the later arriving modes. Because each mode has different through-thickness displacement values, they are sensitive to different types of flaws, and the information gained from the multi-mode analysis improves understanding of the structural integrity of the inspected material. Both tomographic frequency compounding and mode sorting algorithms are introduced. It is also shown that each of these methods improve the reconstructed images both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Abstract:
Sistemas de ensaios não destrutivos por ondas guiadas despertam cada vez mais a atenção tanto da indústria, como da academia. Isso deve-se, principalmente, às possibilidades que as ondas guiadas permitem, como maior área de triagem que o ultrassom convencional. Porém a técnica tem suas limitações, já que esta apenas gera uma estimativa da localização de um defeito e não a sua dimensão. Nessa limitação, algoritmos tomográficos apresentam uma possibilidade de avanço da técnica, pois permitem determinar não só a localização de corrosões e defeitos, mas também seu dimensionamento. Este trabalho apresenta tomografia de difração como uma alternativa para avaliação de integridade estrutural. Primeiramente, utilizou-se análise por métodos numéricos para mostrar a validade dos algoritmos e posteriormente foi realizado um experimento em uma chapa real com o objetivo de reconstruir a imagem do defeito.<br>Guided waves nondestructive testing systems are increasingly attracting industrial and academic attention. The mainly reason for this attention is the possibility of screening a large area than conventional ultrasound technique. However, Guided Waves Testing has limitations, since it gives only an estimation of the location of a defect, but not the dimensions. Tomographic algorithms come up with an improvement of the technique, because it allows discovery not only the location of corrosions and defects, but the dimensions too. This work brings Diffraction Tomography as an alternative to structural health monitoring. First, a numerical analysis was implemented to demonstrate the validity of the algorithms, after that an experiment in a real plate was made with the objective to recover the defect image.

Abstract:
Adaptive optics or numerical restoration algorithms that restore high resolution imaging through atmospheric turbulence are subject to isoplanatic wave-front errors. Mitigating those errors requires that the wave-front aberrations be estimated within the 3D volume of the atmosphere. Present techniques rely on multiple beacons, either natural stars or laser guide stars, to probe the atmospheric aberration along different lines of sight, followed by tomographic projection of the measurements onto layers at defined ranges. In this paper we show that a three-dimensional estimate of the wave-front aberration can be recovered from measurements by a single guide star in the case where the aberration is stratified, provided that the telescope tracks across the sky with non-uniform angular velocity. This is generally the case for observations of artificial earth-orbiting satellites, and the new method is likely to find application in ground based telescopes used for space situational awareness.

Abstract:
Ce manuscrit présente une méthode d’imagerie quantitative et sans état de référence, de défauts de corrosion d’une plaque mince, exploitant de manière passive un réseau embarqué de capteurs d’ondes élastiques guidées. Les applications visées sont le contrôle santé intégré (SHM) de structures critiques qui amènent de fortes contraintes à la fois d’intrusivité des capteurs et de fiabilité du diagnostic. Une solution prometteuse, permettant de multiplier la densité de points de mesure sans augmenter l’intrusivité du système, est offerte par les réseaux de Bragg sur fibre optique (FBG). Toutefois, contrairement aux transducteurs piézoélectriques (PZT) classiquement employés en SHM, les FBG ne permettent pas d’émettre d’ondes élastiques. L’idée consiste à utiliser des méthodes dites « passives » permettant de retrouver la fonction de Green entre deux capteurs à partir du bruit ambiant, naturellement présent dans la structure, mesuré simultanément entre ces deux capteurs. Nous étudions dans ce manuscrit deux méthodes passives : la corrélation de bruit et le filtre inverse passif. Nous verrons que ce dernier a plus de potentiel lorsqu’il est couplé à l’imagerie par tomographie. Différents algorithmes de tomographie sont évalués par simulation numérique puis lors d’expériences comparatives actives et passives à l’aide d’un réseau de PZT. Afin de rendre la tomographie passive robuste, nous présentons une méthode clé de détection de temps de vol, basée sur une représentation temps-fréquence. Enfin, nous décrivons une première démonstration expérimentale de mesures passives par FBG qui laisse à penser que la tomographie passive par FBG est prometteuse<br>This manuscript presents a baseline-free quantitative method for the imaging of corrosion flaws present in thin plates. This method only requires an embedded guided waves sensors network in a fully passive way. The field ofapplications are Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of critical structures with heavy constrains on both sensors intrusiveness and diagnostic reliability. A promising solution allowing to increase the number of measurement points without increasing the intrusiveness of the system is provided by the Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs). However, unlike piezoelectric transducers generally used in SHM, the FBGs cannot emit elastic waves. The idea consists in using passive methods in order to retrieve the Green function from elastic diffuse fields - naturally present in structures - measured simultaneously between two sensors. In this manuscript, two passive methods are studied: the ambient noise correlation and the passive inverse filter. It is shown that the latter gives better results when coupled with tomography. Several tomography algorithms are assessed with numerical simulations and then applied to active and passive datasets measured by a PZT network. In order to make passive tomography robust, a time of flight identification method is proposed, based on a time-frequency representation. Finally, a novel experimental demonstration of passive measurements with FBGs only is presented, suggesting high potential for FBGs passive tomography

In the case of plant fibers, the application of the LU method requires prior knowledge of the 3D geometry of the single fiber in the measurement area. In order to determine the geometry of the fiber, we have developed anin-situ optical projection micro-tomography (OPT) device using the digital holography technique. This PhD thesis is organized around four chapters. The first chapter provides a state of the art of the micrometric fibers and the most common methods used to characterize their mechanical properties. The second chapter is elevated to numerical methods of calculation of the propagation of guided acoustic waves in cylindrical structures (solid cylinder, pipes, arbitrary cross-section). In order to predict the propagation of guided acoustic waves in such structures, several methods are presented. The third chapter is devoted to the experimental study of elastic properties and vibrational behavior of micrometric fibers using laser ultrasonics technique (LU). The last chapter of the manuscript presents the principle of the OPT method based on digital holography microscopy, performed in situ on the LU measurement area of the fiber, which will be used tocollect the actual 3D shape of a single flax fiber

This manuscript presents a new quantitative imaging method,called passive elastic guided wave tomography, based on the use of an embedded network of piezoelectric sensors(PZT) listening and analyzing only the ambient elastic noise which is naturally generated by the fluid circulation inpipes. This passive method offers many advantages for a SHM system, such as reduction of energy consumption,simplified electronics and ability to perform an inspection while the structure is in operation. In addition, thispassive method makes SHM systems possible to use Fiber Bragg Grating sensors (FBG) which have several advantagesover traditional PZT sensors (low intrusivity, resistance to harsh environments, etc.) but which are not able to emitwaves. A first demonstration of the feasibility of corrosion/erosion imaging by FBG is illustrated experimentallythanks to a result obtained by hybrid tomography in which wave emission is performed by PZT and reception byFBG. All these works offer promising perspectives for the application of passive tomography on industrial structuresusing a pure FBG system. Among the various results presented in this thesis, we also show that corrosion/erosiondefects can be characterized by tomography on a straight pipe without the need for a baseline measurement in apristine state. It is feasible by using a new method of auto-calibration of the data used for tomography. The absenceof baseline measurement makes the method very reliable and avoid false alarms of the system.

Abstract:
Frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) uses infrared light waves, providing intracoronary images at a high resolution and enabling the characterization of the structure and extent of coronary artery disease in unprecedented detail. OCT can study plaque components such as fibrous tissue, calcium, and lipids with high accuracy. Furthermore, the technique is potentially able to depict inflammatory cells, crystals of cholesterol, and intimal vasculature, and can clarify the mechanism of acute coronary syndromes. OCT is therefore the most promising technique to study plaque vulnerability. FD-OCT, with its ability to distinguish fresh thrombus from other tissues, can also identify culprit lesions in patients with acute coronary syndromes. Some studies are encouraging the adoption of an OCT-guided approach of stent deployment, showing the superiority versus an angiography-guided strategy. The assessment of plaque composition pre-intervention is instrumental for device selection. Identification and quantification of calcium is key to decide whether to perform direct stenting or to proceed with tissue ablation in the presence of massive calcifications. Furthermore, FD-OCT can be used to size stent length and diameter. After intervention recent data established the OCT metrics to be adopted to fine-tune stenting procedures.
