TLDR
In this article, a theoretical investigation of the generation of Lamb waves inside an immersed plate by complex harmonic inhomogeneous plane waves is presented, and it is shown that dispersion curves of transient Lamb waves (only the frequency is complex) can be very different from the dispersion curve of permanent leaky waves, especially for the A0 and S0 modes for which there exists a cut-off frequency beyond which these modes do not exist.
Abstract
This paper presents a theoretical investigation of the generation of Lamb waves inside an immersed plate by complex harmonic inhomogeneous plane waves. Whereas free modes of a fluid-loaded plate are classically assumed to be formed by inhomogeneous plane waves with real frequency (leaky waves), the nature of Lamb waves is searched in this study in terms of combinations of transient inhomogeneous plane waves characterized by a complex slowness vector and a complex frequency. It is shown that dispersion curves of transient Lamb waves (only the frequency is complex) can be very different from the dispersion curves of permanent leaky waves (only the slowness is complex), especially for the A0 and S0 modes for which there exists a cut-off frequency beyond which these modes do not exist. In the general case, when both the frequency and the slowness are complex, connections between modes clearly appear from the calculation of dispersion curves.

Parallel projection and crosshole lamb wave contact scanning tomography

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new technique in which two contact piezoelectric transducers are independently scanned along parallel lines in a fashion analogous to that commonly used in seismic crosshole tomography.

Guided waves in fluid-filled pipes surrounded by different fluids

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the inner and outer media have been investigated by considering a copper pipe with air or water on both the inside and outside of the pipe, and the effect of viscosity has also been demonstrated for a castor oil-filled copper pipe in air.

Detection of kissing bonds by Lamb waves

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the kissing bonds can be effectively detected by some leaky Lamb mode, and the theoretical and experimental results are presented to show that using the Lamb waves is an effective way of detecting kissing bonds.

Theoretical and experimental studies of surface waves on solid-fluid interfaces when the value of the fluid sound velocity is located between the shear and the longitudinal ones in the solid

TL;DR: The existence of two surface waves propagating on a plane solid-fluid interface is demonstrated when the value of the fluid sound velocity is located between the shear and the longitudinal ones in the solid as discussed by the authors.

On waves in an elastic plate

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the problem of two-dimensional wave propagation in a solid bounded by parallel planes, and proposed a simple solution to the problem, which has no bearing on the questions referred to in this paper.

Theory of elastic resonance excitation by sound scattering

TL;DR: In this article, the resonance formalism of nuclear reaction theory is applied to the problem of sound scattering from submerged elastic bodies (illustrated here by circular cylinders and spheres), and it is demonstrated that the strongly fluctuating behavior of, e.g., the backscattering cross section is caused by a superposition of generally narrow resonances in the individual normal modes (partial waves), which move up in frequency from one partial wave to the next, corresponding to a series of creeping waves (Regge poles) and which are superimposed on a background of rigid-body (potential

Resonance theory of acoustic waves interacting with an elastic plate

TL;DR: In this paper, the resonance analysis of an elastic layer immersed in a fluid is analyzed by extending the resonance formalism, previously developed by us for the case of a fluid layer [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 65, 9−14 (1979)].

Propagation of guided waves in fluid-coupled plates of fiber-reinforced composite

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a total-transmission criterion for leaky plate wave propagation in fiber-reinforced composites and found that the results of the Cremer coincidence condition were not consistent with the experimental data.
