Guillaume Painchaud-April joined Olympus NDT Canada as an industrial physicist in 2012. His current work relates to physical modeling of wave phenomena both in acoustics and electromagnetics, and signal processing.
The total focusing method (TFM) is a synthetic aperture beam forming technique that has been under active development in the NDT industry over the past decade.
In this paper, we introduce a newly developed semi-analytical model to predict the total focusing method (TFM) amplitude sensitivity map for both nondirectional and directional flaws.
