title = "In-service inspections and monitoring (INSMO): Simulation examples of ultrasonic inspection",
abstract = "The paper gives examples of application of two very different computer programs that are used to simulate and model ultrasonic inspection. The real propagation path of the sound beam can be difficult to trace when the geometry is complex. Ray tracing simulation on a three dimensional model of the inspection geometry can be very useful and sometimes nearly a necessity to analyse the probe angles and scanning paths. The modelling of the sound pulse behaviour in the material and its interaction with geometric details and defects produces information about the signals that can occur during the inspection. Simulation examples show how information can be generated to support inspection design, data analyses and qualification.",
