Ultrasonic echo power spectrum function after S1, acquisition calibration, diameter of the ultrasonic echo power spectrum function only with microfissure
Parameter is related;
In the ultrasonic echo power spectrum function after obtaining calibration, following steps are generally included:
First, the receptance function of ultrasound measurement system, the ultrasonic pulse of transmitting and ultrasonic reflection coefficient function are entered
Row convolution algorithm, obtains ultrasound echo signal function;
Assuming that ultrasound measurement system launches ultrasonic pulse p to detected material0(t), due to the fine fisssure being detected in material
Contain the impurity different from adjacent material in gap, with the acoustic impedance different from adjacent material, therefore ultrasonic reflection can be formed, instead
The ultrasonic echo being emitted back towards is p (t), and ultrasonic echo intensity is proportional to the ultrasonic reflection coefficient A (z) of microfissure.For cylinder
Or the microfissure of sheet, ultrasonic reflection coefficient can be write as microfissure diameter d function, i.e. ultrasonic reflection coefficient function
For:

And P (f)0(f) influence, i.e.,:
S (f)=s (f)/sC(f)=Φ (f;d)Φ*(f;d) (7)
Characteristic dimension d (diameter, thickness) of the ultrasound echo signal power spectrum only with microfissure after calibration has one-to-one corresponding

The ultrasonic echo power spectrum function of subscript conversion carries out linear fit, obtains corresponding slope function after linear fit, will be described oblique
It is independent variable that rate function, which is designated as in power spectrum slope function, the power spectrum slope function diameter parameters, power spectrum slope be because
Variable;

(f) mould of error is minimum,
||S(f)-L(f)||→min;
