摘要：

This study explores the inspection of bolted connections in wind turbines, specifically focusing on the application of Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT). The research comprises four sections: Acoustoelastic Constant calibration, high tension investigation on bolts, blind tests on larger bolts, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) verification. The methodology shows accurate results for stress while the bolt is under operative loads, and produces a clear indication of when it is above these loads and beginning to deform. PAUT emerges as a promising tool for bolt inspection, offering multiple imaging modes for simultaneous stress monitoring and defect detection. The study advocates for PAUT as a robust method to enhance wind turbine safety, longevity, and future insitu testing.
