Guided Wave Ultrasonic Testing for Crack Detection in Polyethylene Pipes: Laboratory Experiments and Numerical Modeling
The use of guided wave-based Ultrasonic Testing (UT) for monitoring Polyethylene (PE) pipes is mostly restricted to detecting defects in welded zones, despite its diversified success in monitoring metallic pipes. PE’s viscoelastic behavior and semi-crystalline structure make it prone to crack format...
