Ultrasonic Tomography Approaches and Applications details cutting-edge guided wave tomographic techniques and their applications in the non-destructive evaluation and structural health monitoring industry. Using technology which has the power to significantly transform structural maintenance and integrity management, the book enables readers to apply these techniques through the use of case studies and practical end of chapter problems.

Ultrasonic guided wave tomography (UGWT) delivers accurate and robust results to diagnose defects and inclusions in thin sheets of many different materials. Applicable to many different industries, the book uses quantitative guided wave imaging approaches based on diffraction tomography (DT) and full waveform inversion (FWI), comparing and contrasting their usefulness in reconstructing physical properties in isotropic and anisotropic structures. Applying this to real world case studies such as liquid-loaded tank floors and pipeline corrosion monitoring systems, the book demonstrates how UGWT is revolutionizing non-destructive evaluation and structural health monitoring. It presents the theoretical analysis, simulations, experiments, and practical applications of the UGWT method, ensuring more reliable non-destructive testing can be carried out.
