Abstract In this paper, a method is presented in which that the diffuse field information of Lamb waves is used to realize the full focal imaging of the defect that is near the transducer array. The near distance means that the defect is located in the near field of ultrasonic phased array and satisfies the near field calculation formula. Near field acoustic information of the defect is obscured by the nonlinear effects of early time saturation present in a directly acquired ultrasonic inspection. The approach proposed here is to recover near filed information through cross-correlation of diffuse fields. The diffuse field is generated through multiple scattering and reflection effects after sufficiently long time transmission of ultrasonic signal in a bounded medium. The near field information is implicitly contained throughout the diffuse field. By cross-correlating the diffuse fields of ultrasonic responses recorded at two monitoring points, the Green's functions between the two points is recovered and the direct response between them is obtained. This idea is applied to the full matrix capture of ultrasonic phased array in which the full matrix is formed by sequential acquisition of responses for each transmitter-receiver pair. A virtual array of emitters and receivers is therefore established. Typically, phase delays are used in post-processing to achieve advanced imaging. Here an undelayed full matrix of inter-element responses is reconstructed through cross-correlation of a later time diffuse full matrix. In order to evaluate the applicability of the method for ultrasonic non-destructive testing, the process of full matrix reconstruction is demonstrated experimentally on an aluminium plate containing the near field defect. Combining the full focal imaging, it is shown that a hybrid full matrix formed through a temporally weighted sum of coherent and reconstructed matrices reduces the background noise and allows the effective imaging of near field defect by direct contact experimental measurements. However, the near field defect is hidden by the region of artificial noise in conventional coherent capture images. The proposed imaging method presents a theoretical guidance for detecting and imaging near field defect in plate-like configurations by using the Lamb wave nondestructive testing method.
