Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A first simulated inspection is conducted to provide a first waveform data set associated with the at least one irregularity parameter. The first simulated inspection is conducted using a first evaluation setting. A first image is produced based on the first waveform set, and it is determined whether a quality of the first image satisfies a predetermined threshold.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for use in inspecting a composite structure, said method comprising: generating a virtual model of the composite structure; defining at least one irregularity parameter; conducting a first simulated inspection of the virtual model with a modeling module configured to transmit at least one simulated wave towards the virtual model to provide a first non-transitory waveform data set associated with the at least one irregularity parameter, wherein t…
