			Reducing inspection time while improving defect detection reliability has become a major challenge in modern industrial applications. Recent advances in ultrasonic technologies have enabled more efficient and accurate Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) of critical components. Among these technologies, Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) systems offer exceptional flexibility in beam steering and wavefront control, significantly enhancing inspection capabilities. In this study, a Finite Element (FE) simulation is presented to investigate a novel ultrasonic inspection approach termed Multiple Inspection. The proposed technique combines the beam-steering capability of phased array ultrasonics with efficient Rayleigh wave generation to simultaneously inspect both the near-surface region and the internal volume of a component within a single examination. By integrating the advantages of bulk-wave and surface-wave inspections, the method provides comprehensive information regarding different defect types while reducing overall inspection time. Simulation results demonstrate the capability of the proposed approach to detect internal cracks and surface defects concurrently with high reliability. The findings suggest that multiple inspections can improve inspection efficiency and provide a promising alternative to conventional ultrasonic testing procedures for industrial NDE.
