Abstract

Report: “Evaluation of Advanced Phased-Array Techniques: Interim Results”, August 2023 ML23216A009, PNNL-34622 Results showed that detection rate drops as microstructures/materials become more complex Standard PA had the highest detection rates overall Detection rates in the CASS-CASS mockups were lowest overall FMC had the most accurate length sizing in the fine-grained WSS mockups. All methods struggled with length sizing in coarse-grained mockups SNR vs method depended on the specimen type SNR was consistently high with standard PA SNR was consistently the lowest with PWI FMC performed best on fine-grained WSS A lack of data received from some Round Robin participants resulted in low statistics for many of the analyses
