Results of the 2015 UT modeling benchmark obtained with models implemented in CIVA

Conference of 42nd Annual Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation, QNDE 2015, Incorporating the 6th European-American Workshop on Reliability of NDE ; Conference Date: 26 July 2015 Through 31 July 2015; Conference Code:119404International audienceThis communication presents the results of the 2015 UT benchmark obtained with the models implemented in CIVA. The benchmark addresses the TOFD technique. To calculate the diffraction echoes, field by applying the pencil-model and diffraction on notches edges is modelled by GTD (Geometrical Theory of Diffraction). We present comparisons between experimental and simulated results. We discuss the results obtained with and without applying the so-called "plane wave approximation" on the incident field
