To solve the underestimation of closed-crack depth, we have developed an imaging method, subharmonic phased array for crack evaluation (SPACE). However, a single-array SPACE can image only the vicinity of a transmission focal point (TFP) when the TFP is fixed. In this study, we have developed a confocal SPACE that defines multiple TFPs for imaging closed cracks over a wide area. We demonstrated its usefulness by measuring a stress corrosion crack (SCC). Moreover, we proposed a radarlike display that shows single-focus images with a line indicating the incident direction. By applying it to the SCC specimen, a moving crack response (MCR) was observed with varying incident angles. To analyze this behavior, we performed a simulation using a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method with a damped double node (DDN) model. Furthermore, we examined the ratio of the subharmonic to fundamental responses depending on the stress ratio between input wave stress and crack closure stress (sigma(c)).
