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.

A two-dimensional Fourier transform method for the measurement of propagating multimode signals

TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional Fourier transform (2D FFT) was used to measure the amplitudes and velocities of the Lamb waves propagating in a plate, the output of the transform being presented using an isometric projection which gives a three-dimensional view of the wave-number dispersion curves.

Three‐Dimensional Investigation of the Propagation of Waves in Hollow Circular Cylinders. I. Analytical Foundation

TL;DR: In this paper, the propagation of free harmonic waves along a hollow circular cylinder of infinite extent is discussed within the framework of the linear theory of elasticity, and a characteristic equation appropriate to the circular hollow cylinder is obtained by use of the Helmholtz potentials for arbitrary values of the physical parameters involved.

Modeling elastic wave propagation in waveguides with the finite element method

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a commercial finite element (FE) code to study the propagation characteristics of ultrasonic waves in annular structures and demonstrated the potential of the FE method for problems when an analytical solution is not possible because of complicated component geometry.
