Abstract
A method and system utilizing polarized ultrasonic shear waves and other guided waves to detect and characterize flaws oriented parallel to the wave propagation direction and perpendicular to the wave particle motion. As the wave passes, the waves are dampened by these flaws causing a reduction in the received signal amplitude as well as other changes in the signal. This inspection can be applied to nuclear reactor vessel control rod drive mechanisms (CRDMs) and other tubular and plate products. In addition, the same waves are utilized to detect and characterize other types of flaws in CRDMs.
