The use of simulation tools is essential for the improvement of currently applied inspection techniques and the development of new approaches. This contribution presents results elaborated in recent studies where the application of validated simulation techniques has led to optimized ultrasonic inspection performance an relevant aero engine components. The validation and the application of the two superposition approaches GBS and GPSS in view of ultrasonic NDT of aero engine components have been addressed in this contribution. Due to its computational efficiency the Gaussian beam method allows for a quick evaluation of transducer beam fields, while the Generalized Point Source Synthesis method can be employed in view of more sophisticated UT configurations. In this respect, the latter has been applied for optimization and simulation in complex inspection set-ups, including single- and multiple-element transducers as well as mirrors for improved the defect detectability.
