TL;DR: In this article, the results of a numerical evaluation of a characteristic equation derived in Part I, appropriate to free harmonic waves propagated along a hollow cylinder of infinite extent, were given for some representative cylinders covering the entire range from thin shells to solid cylinders.
Abstract: The results are given of a numerical evaluation of a characteristic equation derived in Part I, appropriate to free harmonic waves propagated along a hollow cylinder of infinite extent. This equation is evaluated for some representative cylinders covering the entire range from thin shells to solid cylinders, and the results are compared with the corresponding results of a shell theory. Observations are made regarding the variation of the frequency spectrum with the physical parameters, as well as the range of applicability of shell theories.

TL;DR: 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.

06 Mar 2013TL;DR: In this paper, the basic principles of a time reversal based pulse position modulation (TR-PPM) method are presented, and the authors also experimentally demonstrate data communication with PPM on pipes.
Abstract: Embedded piezoelectric sensors in large civil structures for structural health monitoring applications require data communication capabilities to effectively transmit information regarding the structure's integrity between sensor nodes and to the central processing unit. Conventional communication modalities include electromagnetic waves or acoustical waves. While guided elastic waves can propagate over long distances on solid structures, their multi-modal and dispersive characteristics make it difficult to interpret the channel responses and to transfer useful information along pipes. Time reversal is an adaptive transmission method that can improve the spatiotemporal wave focusing. The present disclosure presents the basic principles of a time reversal based pulse position modulation (TR-PPM) method and demonstrates TR-PPM data communication by simulation. The present disclosure also experimentally demonstrates data communication with TR-PPM on pipes. Simulated and experimental results demonstrate that TR-PPM for data communications can be achieved successfully using guided elastic waves.
