Multi-Mode and Multi-Frequency Guided Wave Imaging via Chirp Excitations
Guided wave imaging has shown great potential for structural health monitoring applications by providing a way to visualize and characterize structural damage. For successful implementation of delay-and-sum and other elliptical imaging algorithms employing guided ultrasonic waves, some degree of mode purity is required because echoes from undesired modes cause imaging artifacts that obscure dam...
متن کاملGuided Wave Phased Array for Inspection of Plate Structures
This paper describes a general approach for processing data from an omni-directional guided wave transducer array for the rapid inspection of large plate structures. A basic phased array algorithm is presented that can be applied to any array geometry. The beam forming is the method in which the phase-coherent signals at different sensors are superimposed such a way that the sum will have maxim...
متن کاملFundamental mode, single-frequency laser amplifier for gravitational wave detectors.
An amplifier design for efficient amplification of linearly polarized fundamental mode lasers is presented. The concept was verified by amplifying single-frequency input powers from 1 W to 20 W into output power ranges of 35 W up to 65 W. Beam quality measurements with a mode-analyzer cavity showed only minor beam quality degradation due to the amplification process.
متن کاملThe Multiresolution Frequency Domain Method for General Guided Wave Structures
Abstract—A multiresolution frequency domain (MRFD) analysis similar to the finite difference frequency domain (FDFD) method is presented. This new method is derived by the application of MoM to frequency domain Maxwell’s equations while expanding the fields in terms of biorthogonal scaling functions. The dispersion characteristics of waveguiding structures are analyzed in order to demonstrate t...
متن کاملMulti-Mode and Multi-Frequency Differential Lamb Wave Imaging with in situ Sparse Transducer Arrays
Application of ultrasonic methods to structural health monitoring requires a compromise between coverage and complexity, making it desirable to use as few transducers as possible to cover the largest area. Such a consideration leads to the use of very sparse arrays where transducers are spatially distributed over a large area and are permanently attached to the structure. For plate-like geometr...
