Abstract

Artificial flaws can be manufactured by controlled thermal fatigue loading. The produced cracks can be introduced to a wide variety of materials. This technology gives also a unique opportunity to monitor the ultrasonic response of a crack during thermal loading. This paper reports studies on the effects of different thermal load cycles on the ultrasonic response. The loads are analyzed with FEM. Two cracked samples were loaded with different thermal load cycles.
