description Surface angled cracks on critical components in high-speed machinery can lead to fractures under stress and pressure, posing a significant threat to the operational safety of equipment. To detect surface angled cracks on critical components, this paper proposes a “Quantitative Detection Method for Surface Angled Cracks Based on Full-field Scanning Data”. By analyzing different ultrasonic signals in the full-field scanning data from laser ultrasonics, the width, angle, and length of surface angled cracks can be determined. This study investigates the propagation behavior of ultrasonic waves and their interaction with surface angled cracks through theoretical calculations. The crack width is solved by analyzing the distribution of Rayleigh waves in the full-field scanning data. This paper also discusses the differences in ultrasonic wave propagation between near-field and far-field detection and identifies the critical point between these regions. Different computational methods are employed to calculate the inclination angle and the crack endpoint at various scan positions. Four sets of experiments were conducted to validate the proposed method, with results showing that the errors in determining the width, angle, and length of the surface angled cracks were all within 5%. This confirms the feasibility of the method for detecting surface angled cracks. The quantitative detection of surface angled cracks on critical components using this method allows for a comprehensive assessment of the component’s condition, aiding in the prediction of service life and the mitigation of operational risks. This method shows promising application potential in areas such as aircraft engine blade inspection and gear inspection.
