A Baseline and Vision of Ultrasonic Guided Wave Inspection Potential

TLDR
In this article, the authors provide a vision of ultrasonic guided wave inspection potential as we move forward into the new millennium and provide a brief description of the sensor and software technology that will make ultrasonic guidance wave inspection commonplace in the next century.
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.

On interfacial waves in pre-stressed layered incompressible elastic solids

TL;DR: In this paper, the dispersion equation is derived in respect of a general strain-energy function and conditions on the pre-strain, pre-stress and material parameters that ensure the existence of a unique interfacial wavespeed at low frequencies are obtained, and it is shown that, in special circumstances, non-dispersive waves can exist at the low-frequency limit.

Propagation of Nonaxially Symmetric Waves in Elastic Cylindrical Shells

TL;DR: In this article, two general systems of equations of motion, designated as (I) and (II) for thin elastic cylindrical shells (which include the effects of both transverse shear deformation and rotatory inertia) were derived and employed in a study of the torsionless axisymmetric wave propagation.
