Michael Pedrick, engineering science and mechanics doctoral student, the award for Best Student Paper in Structural Acoustics and Vibrations at the 151st meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in Providence, Rhode Island, June 5-9, 2006.
The paper, "Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Evaluation in Thin-Walled Concrete for Flaw Detection,” by Michael Pedrick, Bernhard Tittmann, Shivprakash Iyer, and Sunil Sinha, explores the use of discrete wavelet transforms with an ultrasonic pulse-echo system to classify defects in thin-walled concrete specimens such as sewer pipes.
Mr. Pedrick's research involves the investigation of novel applications for Ultrasonic Love Wave Devices based on polymer thin film sensing elements. In particular, he is working on the principles and evaluation of a charged particle detector based on Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films deposited on quartz substrates. Mr. Pedrick's work is under the direction of Professor Bernhard Tittmann.
