Abstract

The influence of the pulsed operating mode on a bottom echo-signal level reflected from a plane surface of a cylindrical article is studied during variations in the article's radius. It is shown that the pulsed character of a signal smoothens this function significantly as compared to that in the previously computed continuous mode. Numerical estimates of the bottom echo signal have been made for the ultrasonic inspection of wheel-pair axles of railway vehicles.
