SKI perspective
Background
During the last decade, SKI has supported research to develop a model for the non
destructive test situation based on ultrasonic technique. Such a model is important in
many ways, for example to complement and plan experimental studies in qualification
situations or as a tool in technical justifications. During the years, many functions have
been added to the model and in this step propagation of ultrasound in cladding is
studied.
Purpose of the project
Pipes and components in nuclear power plants are often equipped with a cladding
material to prevent material degradation from media influence from the surface. This
cladding material, often anisotropic, makes the ultrasonic test situation harder. To better
understand the phenomenon and model the propagation of the ultrasonic signal through
the material and the cladding this project was set up.
Results
The report describes, in the 2D and 3D case, the propagation of ultrasonic waves in a
cladding that is both anisotropic and corrugated in the boundary between ground
material and cladding.
The results and numerical examples show that the tilt and skew of the austenitic
cladding has strong effects on the transmission of the waves. The results also show that
the corrugated surface, in this case approximated as a sinusoidal function, also effects
the transmission for certain values. This effect, in this approximation only valid for
small corrugated heights, gives us guidance in understanding the complication of
propagation through such a boundary.
Project information
Responsible for the project at SKI has been Lars Sknberg and Peter Merck.
