Frequently Asked Questions (12)
Q2. What is the size of the noise source in the passive experiment?
In the passive experiment, the size of the noise source is ≈1 mm large, which is quasi-punctual compared to the A0 and S0 wavelength.
Q3. How many receivers were removed from the passive experiment?
In the passive experiment, the authors removed the source and placed 16 receivers separated by 7 cm from each other on the graduated line.
Q4. How did the authors fix the accelerometers on the plate?
The authors fixed their accelerometers on their plate using a hot chemical glue (phenyl-salicylic acid) that solidifies with cooling (below 43◦C).
Q5. What is the traction-free condition of the plate?
The plate is laid on an open steel frame that supports the edges of the plate butReconstruction of Rayleigh-Lamb dispersion from noise 1leaves free the upper and lower sides.
Q6. What is the way to recover the amplitude of the noise?
To summarize, in order to recover the amplitude by correlating the incoherent noise, the authors suggest that each record be filtered in a narrow frequency band, and then correlated without additional processing.
Q7. How many times did the authors move the receiver away from the source?
After each acquisition, the authors moved the receiver a centimeter away from the source down the diagonal; the authors repeated this operation 100 times to cover 100 cm of the plate.
Q8. How is the dispersion of flexural waves studied?
To study actively and passively the dispersion of flexural waves, the authors built a laboratory experiment using a 1.5m×1.5m large, 0.6 cm thick plexiglass plate.
Q9. What are the dispersion curves used to evaluate?
The dispersion curves are widely used to evaluate the mechanical properties of the plate, including thickness, presence of flaws...
Q10. What is the SNR of the sub-records?
As noticed theoretically and experimentally by several authors [Sabra et al. (2005b); Weaver and Lobkis (2005)], the SNR is found to increase like:SNR = α √ T (6)where α is the fit coefficient.
Q11. What is the energy ratio in favour of the A0 mode?
In that case, and taking into account the large difference in phase velocities, the energy ratio is clearly in favour of the A0 mode, the S0 mode is much weaker (and additionally less converged).
Q12. What is the first report of Weaver and Lobkis?
The authors can report the first experiments of Weaver and Lobkis (2001) who noted that both the phase and amplitude of the signals were passively reconstructed, and also Larose et al. (2006) who used this amplitude information to study weak localisation without a source.
