thin plate using a laser ultrasonic system that enables remote, noncontact ultrasonic inspection. First, we adopted a mock-up of a joint
between two thin plates, and demonstrated that the distance from the
generation/detection point to the joint can be estimated by using the
diffraction of Lamb waves, which can propagate long distances within
the thin plates. Next, by measuring the actual resistance spot-welded
specimens, we demonstrated that differences in the nugget diameter of
approximately 0.5 mm can be clearly distinguished from the arrival time
of the diffraction waves. We also demonstrated that the nugget diameter
could be calculated by determining the propagation velocity of the
diffraction wave with an accuracy close to that of the measurement
using a contact-type probe.
