Hi people.
I am trying to locate any information at all to use ultrasound to get 3D imaging of small mechanical devices (4 to 8 CM cube)
the purpose to detect flaws, metal fatigue, and functional operation in critical assemblies. Like a 3D snapshot resembling X-ray.
Historical applications were like detecting cracks, wear, and fatigue in large pins supporting Ferris wheels.
The devices are not very complicated, 16 moving internal parts. ( compare to a tiny Wankle rotary engine)
NO, the device cannot be dismantled for individual part analisis. A failure of the device would destroy a very expensive project.
