This work investigates the interaction of shear and Lamb waves with different kinds of defects in plates, in view of applications to defect characterization purposes. Using a finite element model, the reflection and transmission coefficients of shear and Lamb waves are determined, as a function of size parameters of the defect related to its extension and depth. Notches with elliptical and rectangular profile are examined, together with internal voids, covering both symmetric and asymmetric cases. Low and high frequency times height (2hf) regimes are considered in order to clarify how mode conversion can provide information on the shape of the defect. In this regard, also the role of symmetric and asymmetric waves is elucidated.

Abstract
This work investigates the interaction of shear and Lamb waves with different kinds of defects in plates, in view of applications to defect characterization purposes. Using a finite element model, the reflection and transmission coefficients of shear and Lamb waves are determined, as a function of size parameters of the defect related to its extension and depth. Notches with elliptical and rectangular profile are examined, together with internal voids, covering both symmetric and asymmetric cases. Low and high frequency times height (2hf) regimes are considered in order to clarify how mode conversion can provide information on the shape of the defect. In this regard, also the role of symmetric and asymmetric waves is elucidated.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
