Abstract The radiation and propagation of elastic waves in solid media are of fundamental importance in ultrasonic NDE. Due to the limitation of analytical approaches, numerical procedures are most appropriate for solving the governing equations. In this paper, the finite element method is used to predict the transient fields of pulsed transducers in a solid medium with axisymmetric geometry. Comparisons with other models are performed. The transducer field interactions with spherical voids are also presented.
