Trailing arms are widely used in the automobiles’ suspension system, and effective detection of their wall thickness is essential to ensure their mechanical properties and to evaluate the casting process. In this work, an ultrasonic measurement model (UMM) is firstly established with consideration of the curvature and thickness of the trailing arm, then the UMM is introduced to predict the theoretical ultrasonic waveforms with different hypothetical thicknesses of the trailing arm. Next, the experimental ultrasonic waveforms are collected and matched with the predicted theoretical waveforms by using the correlation matching algorithm. The hypothetical thickness with the best match is regarded as the wall thickness of the trailing arm. Finally, an automatic ultrasonic experiment was conducted on a trailing arm with a 5-degrees of freedom (DOF) manipulator, in which the ultrasonic beam can radiate into a trailing arm at normal incidence. The results are compared with those determined by the micrometer and microscope, showing that their relative errors are controlled within 0.08 mm, which reveals the effectiveness of the present method. The method can also work for wall thickness measurements of curved components with CAD models.
