Résumé : 

In this study, the process of wave propagation in weld joints including a flaw was simulated using elastic finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and a digitized cross-section photograph of actual test object as input data. In order to distinguish the different elements constituting the experiment (transducer, wedge of a probe, test object), different colors are assigned to these different materials. Each color contains information on material parameters, such as the velocity of longitudinal and transversal waves, and the material density
