Rapid Ultrasonic Inspection of Artillery Projectiles

Abstract

This report describes the development of an automated ultrasonic inspection system for nondestructive evaluation of M549 (RAP) artillery projectiles using electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs). The technical effort culminated in the successful demonstration of the inspection system to an engineering team from ARRADCOM and the subsequent delivery of the unit to the ARRADCOM facility in Dover, New Jersey.
