Abstract

In this paper, we present a non-destructive inspection method for immersed waveguide. A laser operating at 532 nm is used to excite leaky guided waves on an aluminum plate immersed in water. The plate has a few artificial defects. An array of immersion transducers is used to detect the propagating waves. A signal processing based on continuous wavelet transform is utilized to extract a few damage-sensitive features that are used in an outlier analysis and in a probabilistic-based imaging method. The experimental results show that the proposed system can be used for the inspection of underwater waveguides.
