Systems and methods for ultrasonic inspection of complex geometries

Abstract

A sensor probe may include at least one ultrasound transducer and a controller. The controller may be configured to: receive, via the at least one ultrasound transducer, ultrasound signals from a component surface of a component; detect a pattern indicative of a communication from an other sensor probe, associated with the component, based on the received ultrasound signals; decode the received ultrasound signals to retrieve a message from the other sensor probe, in response to detecting the pattern indicative of the communication from the other sensor probe; obtain, via the at least one ultrasound transducer, ultrasound data indicative of ultrasound waves in the component, in response to the retrieved message; and cause data analysis for detecting defects in the component to be performed based on the obtained ultrasound data.
