Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce an application of ultrasonic tomography on the E-glass fibre reinforced epoxy composite pipe. The paper presents a transmission mode ultrasonic tomography. Mathematical estimation of ultrasonic wave propagation between the E-glass composite pipe and other media boundaries are of interest in this paper. In the case of direct transmission, the reflection and transmission coefficient of transmitted ultrasonic wave was calculated.
