PROJECT TITLE: Portable High-Resolution 2D Ultrasonic Imager for Fatigue Damage Inspection
TECHNICAL ABSTRACT (LIMIT 200 WORDS)
In Phase I of the SBIR program LEEOAT Company will develop and optimize the design and fabrication strategy for the high-performance, high-resolution and cost-effective 2D Ultrasonic Transducer imager for nondestructive evaluation applications. The transducer architecture is based on LEEOAT Company's novel micromachining technology. We will reduce to practice the device by demonstrating the micromachining of the transducer. We will theoretically model the transducer and the associated ASIC electronics and will estimate the cost/effort for the fabrication and testing of the NDE prototype in Phase II of the program.
POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS
The development of a high-performance, high-resolution cost-effective 2D ultrasonic transducer will open a largewindow of opportunity in a variety of space, military and commercial applications, like NDE and medical imaging.
