Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation
Center for Nondestructive Evaluation

Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.

This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract

The interaction of ultrasound with rough surfaces is being actively investigated, from both a theoretical and experimental standpoint. The problem is important to several areas, including ocean acoustics [1,2] and dielectric waveguides, such as optical fibers. In either of these problems the fields can be assumed to be represented by a single scalar potential. The problem we address here has previously received very little attention, and concerns the propagation of guided elastic waves in a planar solid waveguide having randomly rough surfaces with compressional and shear potentials that are coupled at each interface. The rough surface is intended to model incipient corrosion in aluminum aircraft structure.
