Nondestructive characterization of the elastic properties of orthotropic composites with ultrasound [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Due to the increasing use of composite materials in critical applications demanding light weight to high strength ratio, reliable evaluation tools are necessary.

Characterisation of hidden defects using the near-field ultrasonic enhancement of Lamb waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Defects that propagate from the inside of a structure can be difficult to detect by traditional non-destructive inspection methods. A non-contact inspection method is presented here that uses the near-field interactions of ultrasonic Lamb waves to detect

Review on static component generation of ultrasonic waves in solid media

open access: yesAIP Advances
In nonlinear ultrasonics (NLU), in addition to the well-known second harmonic generation (SHG), a static component (SC) generation occurs when a primary ultrasonic wave propagates through a solid with quadratic elastic nonlinearity.

Simultaneous Measurement of Thickness and Elastic Properties of Thin Plastic Films by Means of Ultrasonic Guided Waves

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Ultrasonic guided waves are already used for material characterization. The advantage of these waves is that they propagate in the plane of a plate and their propagation characteristics are sensitive to properties of the material.

An omnidirectional shear horizontal wave transducer based on ring array of face-shear (d24) piezoelectric ceramics

open access: yes, 2016
The non-dispersive fundamental shear horizontal (SH0) wave in plate-like structures is of practical importance in non-destructive testing (NDT) and structural health monitoring (SHM).

Analysis of ultrasonic transducers with fractal architecture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Ultrasonic transducers composed of a periodic piezoelectric composite are generally accepted as the design of choice in many applications. Their architecture is normally very regular and this is due to manufacturing constraints rather than performance ...

Micro-Sized Pinhole Inspection with Segmented Time Reversal and High-Order Modes Cluster Lamb Waves Based on EMATs

open access: yesChinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2023
Pinhole corrosion is difficult to discover through conventional ultrasonic guided waves inspection, particularly for micro-sized pinholes less than 1 mm in diameter.

Recent advances in the ultrasonic polar scan method for characterizing (degraded) fiber reinforced plastics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The ultrasonic polar scan (UPS) technique originated in the 1980's as a sophisticated method for inspecting composites. However, it is only in recent times that the true capabilities and strengths of the UPS methodology have been evidenced through ...

Numerical solution of Rayleigh-Lamb frequency equation for real, imaginary and complex wavenumbers

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Guided waves, especially Lamb waves or shear-horizontal waves, are widely used types of waves for ultrasonic inspection of large structures. Well known property of guided waves is their dispersive character, which means that the propagation velocity of ...

Detection of high-order Lamb waves using an end-face injection of ultrasonic pulses

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2019
In this work, we report the time-of-flight detection of high-order Lamb waves by using an end-face injection of ultrasonic pulses in plates. We used two piezoelectric transducers attached to the opposite edges of a rectangular plate. We applied the Short
