Abstract Nonlinear ultrasonic testing is considered a more promising technique for evaluating closed cracks than conventional ultrasonic testing. However, the mechanism of the generation of nonlinear ultrasonic waves has not been sufficiently explained. We first set up a system to measure the frequency–response characteristics of ultrasonic waves and experimentally investigated the mechanism of second higher-harmonic (HH) wave generation for a fatigue crack. Sweeping the frequencies of incident waves impinging on a fatigue crack introduced to a specimen, we obtained a frequency–response characteristic curve for the crack. From the curve, resonance phenomena resulting from local defect resonance were observed. We then measured the frequency response characteristics of second HH waves using the same system and consequently confirmed that second HH waves resonated when their frequencies corresponded to the eigenfrequencies of the crack. Finally, we theoretically showed that the resonant second HH waves were generated by local defect resonance and nonlinearity.

The presence of a defect leads to a local decrease in rigidity for a certain mass of the material and therefore manifests in a particular characteristic frequency of the defect. A frequency match between the driving ultrasonic wave and this characteristic frequency provides a Local Defect Resonance (LDR) and results in efficient energy delivery from the wave into the defect. In this paper, such a selective ultrasonic activation of resonant defects is suggested to enhance nonlinear ultrasonic, optical and thermal defect responses. Multiple case studies demonstrate that the resonant excitation of a defect results in a high local vibration and enhancement of sensitivity in ultrasonic NDT and imaging of defects via laser vibrometry, thermosonics, nonlinearity and shearography readily measurable even for a few mW of ultrasonic power. The LDR-based NDT methods require much lower ultrasonic power to activate the defects that makes it possible to avoid high- power ultrasonic instrumentation.

Different non-destructive testing techniques have been evaluated for detecting and assessing damage in carbon fiber reinforced plastics: (i) ultrasonic C-scan, (ii) local defect resonance of front/back surface and (iii) lock-in infrared thermography in reflection. Both artificial defects (flat bottom holes and inserts) and impact damage (barely visible impact damage) have been considered. The ultrasonic C-scans in reflection shows good performance in detecting the defects and in assessing actual defect parameters (e.g., size and depth), but it requires long scanning procedures and water coupling. The local defect resonance technique shows acceptable defect detectability, but has difficulty in extracting actual defect parameters without a priori knowledge. The thermographic inspection is by far the fastest technique, and shows good detectability of shallow defects (depth < 2 mm). Lateral sizing of shallow damage is also possible. The inspection of deeper defects (depth > 3–4 mm) in reflection is problematic and requires advanced post-processing approaches in order to improve the defect contrast to detectable limits.
