Publisher's Synopsis
Post-Scan Interactive Data Display (PSIDD) III is a user-oriented Windows-based system that facilitates the display and comparison of ultrasonic contact data. The system is optimized to compare ultrasonic measurements made at different locations within a material or at different stages of material degradation. PSIDD III provides complete analysis of the primary wave forms in the time and frequency domains along with the calculation of several frequency dependent properties including Phase Velocity and Attenuation Coefficient and several frequency independent properties, like the Cross Correlation Velocity. The system allows image generation on all of the frequency dependent properties at any available frequency (limited by the bandwidth used in the scans) and on any of the frequency independent properties. From ultrasonic contact scans, areas of interest on an image can be studied with regard to underlying raw waveforms and derived ultrasonic properties by simply selecting the point on the image. The system offers various modes of in-depth comparison between scan points. Up to five scan points can be selected for comparative analysis at once. The system was developed with Borland Delphi software (Visual Pascal) and is based on a SQL database. It is ideal for classification of material properties, or location of microstructure variations in materials.Lovelace, Jeffrey J. and Cios, Krzysztof J. and Roth, Don J. and Cao, WeiGlenn Research CenterULTRASONICS; ULTRASONIC SCANNERS; ULTRASONIC TESTS; NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTS; EVALUATION; DISPLAY DEVICES; FUZZY SYSTEMS; FUZZY SETS; ALGORITHMS; COMPUTER PROGRAMS; IMAGE ANALYSIS; PASCAL (PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE)...
