Abstract

Due to the weak longitudinal signals generated by laser ultrasound in the thermoelastic mechanism, the characteristic echoes are weak when evaluating the interior of solids, thus limiting its application to internal defect detection. A glass confinement layer is introduced to enhance the longitudinal excitation effectiveness. Specially, a thermoelastic model of laser ultrasound with a glass confinement is established to explain the mechanism of the enhancement of the longitudinal wave effectiveness, and the effect of the glass width on the longitudinal wave generated by the base ultrasound is investigated. The effect of the glass confinement layer on the enhancement of the effectiveness of the internal defects detection is studied. The simulation and experimental results show that the longitudinal waves with high signal-to-noise ratio induced from thermoelastic effect are excited similar to the ablation mechanism, which greatly improves the excitation efficiency of the longitudinal waves. The deep detection defects and the accurate localization of depth information are realized with an error of no more than 1.2%.
