Resonant ultrasonic spectroscopy in high-voltage varistor spectroscopy
PublikacjaResonant spectroscopy is an effective non-destructive testing method focused on defects in tested objects. The testing procedure, based on the resonant pattern, allows rejection of the tested samples with defects which do not fit the pattern. A sweeping frequency method has been used to measure the spectrum of resonances in high-voltage varistors. As a result we can observe resonances that depend directly on inhomogeneity of the...
