Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) using torsional guided wave EMATs

, 2016
Torsional guided wave inspection is widely used for pipeline inspection. Most commonly piezoelectric and magnetostrictive transducers are used to generate torsional guided waves. These types of transducers require bonding or mechanical contact to the pipe which can result in changes over time which are undesirable for Structural Health Monitoring. This
