Abstract
In this study, a gas discharge electroacoustic transducer (GDEAT) based on a pulsed electric discharge in the air under atmospheric pressure has been investigated. By evaluating acoustic pressure and recording amplitude-frequency characteristics of membranes, the acoustic characteristic of GDEATs have been obtained in the frequency range from 40 Hz to 4 MHz. The electro-thermo-acoustic processes have been studied in gas discharge systems of an open type where the electrode space is in a direct contact with the ambient. Some features of using the above-mentioned GDEATs in nondestructive testing (NDT) of materials have been demonstrated. It has been shown that, on one hand, the wear of both electrodes and insulation limits a work life of a transducer electrode system, but, from the other hand, this may lead to deposition of micro-particles on the surface of an object under test. The wear of electrode systems was evaluated quantitatively, and the results of the chemical analysis of deposited micro-particles have been presented. The use of a GDEATs for non-contact stimulation of local resonant vibrations in subsurface defects and visualizing vibrations by means of laser dopler vibrometry has been shown in the case of NDT of a glass fiber composite.
