This course seeks to acquaint students with the fundamentals of the ultrasound technique, particularly as applicable in:
-- Non-destructive evaluation (NDE) ,structural health monitoring (SHM)
-- Non-invasive biomedical imaging & diagnostics
Specifically, the following aspects will be covered:
-- Wave propagation and scattering in unbounded media and waveguides.
-- Common transduction methods and physical principles enabling them.
-- Numerical modelling techniques for visualization of wave phenomena will be introduced.
-- An overview of interpretation of wave scattering effects and inversion methods for material
property or structural feature extraction .
-- How the principles of ultrasound physics are exploited in making a typical pulse-echo ultrasound
scanner that is routinely used in imaging the biological tissues.
