Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy Testing Methods in Additive Manufacturing

This article presents the basic principle, characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS) methods in additive manufacturing. It focuses on the two types of RUS methods: the swept-sine method and the impulse excitation method. Representative significant results for additively manufactured complex parts obtained with the different RUS systems are also shown. The article also presents the basic principle and examples of nonlinear RUS methods.
