Abstract
Ultrasonic guided wave inspection is expanding rapidly to many different areas of manufacturing and in-service inspection. The purpose of this paper is to provide a vision of ultrasonic guided wave inspection potential aswe move forward into the new millennium. An increased understanding of the basic physics and wave mechanics associated with guided wave inspection has led to an increase in practical nondestructive evaluation and inspection problems. Some fundamental concepts and a number of different applications that are currently being considered will be presented in the paper along with a brief description of the sensor and software technology that will make ultrasonic guided wave inspection commonplace in the next century.

P2L-2 Study of Second-Harmonic Generation of Lamb Waves Propagating in Layered Planar Structures with Weak Interfaces

TL;DR: The physical process of second-harmonic generation by the primary Lamb waves, propagating in layered planar structures with weak interfaces, has been studied in this paper, where it is shown that the finite normal and tangential interfacial stiffnesses will effectively influence the effect of secondharmonic generating by Lamb wave propagation at the modal expansion coefficients of the Double Frequency Lamb Waves (abbr. DFLWs) and at the dispersion relations of Lamb waves.

Scattering of the Fundamental Symmetric Wave Mode Incident at a Defect on the Blind Side of a Weep Hole in an Isotropic Plate

TL;DR: In this article, the scattering of a fundamental symmetric wave mode by a notch on the blind side of a weep hole is described, and the effect and interaction of the impinging waves with the defect on the open hole located on the same side of the incident wave is investigated.

Defect detection in transition zones of sucker rods using magnetostrictive guided waves

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used magnetostrictive guided wave technology to detect the artificial notch flaws in the transition zone of a sucker rod and established a piecewise model by making a difference between the down step flaw and the up step flaw.

Ultrasonic Waves in Solid Media

TL;DR: In this article, the theory of elasticity was introduced and basic formulas and concepts in complex variables in the theory and application of wave propagation were discussed. But the authors did not consider the effects of wave scattering on the wave propagation experiments.
