The object of this research is to characterize the porous bones by an ultrasonic method using Lamb waves. In recent years, the characterization of such materials has attracted many authors and takes a perfect place in the field of medicine. It requires the development of more efficient technology for getting the necessary quality and security. This paper aims to exploits the dispersion curves o...

In this paper, the reflection of ultrasonic guided waves from simple dent in pipes has been investigated using finite element method and the relationship between reflection coefficient of these waves and deformation rate has been determined. Also, the effect of the parameters of wave generation source on the generated wave field has been investigated using normal modes expansion method. At firs...

Nondestructive evaluation of the prevailing compressive residual stress in the shallow subsurface layer of surface-treated metals is greatly complicated by the accompanying surface roughness and cold work. A high-precision laser-ultrasonic technique has been developed to study the feasibility of SAW dispersion spectroscopy for residual stress assessment on surface-treated metals in a wide frequ...

The propagation of Lamb-like waves in sandwich plates made of anisotropic and viscoelastic material layers is studied. A semi-analytical model is described and used for predicting the dispersion curves (phase velocity, energy velocity, and complex wave-number) and the through-thickness distribution fields (displacement, stress, and energy flow). Guided modes propagating along a test-sandwich pl...
