Abstract
New approaches to ultrasonic measurements based on the use of the ultrasonic near-field zone and the resonance method are considered. the approaches can be used to measure such material parameters as density, thickness and humidity. simulation and obtained experimental results are given. a mathematical model of the ultrasonic resonance method for measuring material parameters is presented. shown simulation results and experimental data exhibit the high convergence which indicates the adequacy of the proposed model and allows offering a new class of ultrasonic methods for measuring control. a new approach to ultrasonic measurements based on the creation of ultrasonic wave selfoscillation conditions is proposed.
