An Introduction to Ultrasonic Guided Waves
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Compared to ultrasonic bulk waves that travel in infinite media with no boundary influence, guided waves require a structural boundary for propagation. As an example, some guided wave possibilities are illustrated in Figure 1 for a Rayleigh surface wave, a Lamb wave, and a Stonely wave at an interface between two materials.

متن کاملFeasibility Studey of Blockage Detection inside Pipes Using Guided Ultrasonic Waves
Abstract It has been reported that in principle sludge and blockages in pipes can be detected and characterized by using ultrasonic guided waves. The model idealised the sludge to be an asymmetrically uniform layer that is well bonded to the internal surface of the pipe wall. However, in practice, sludge layers normally have a very irregular shape, an asymmetrical circumferential profile and al...

متن کاملDefect Detection and Imaging from Phased Array Focusing of Ultrasonic Guided Waves
The use of numerical and phased array techniques to focus guided waves and perform inspection of plates and pipes has not been widely used; it represents an interesting solution for defect detection and localization. In addition, imaging of ultrasonic guided wave results using color coded B-Scans is also considered a highly valuable tool for data interpretation. While commercial ultrasonic phas...
