Abstract: In this review article, the ultrasonic characterization of materials using guided plate waves and their usage to elucidate mechanical properties of plate-like structures is reviewed. The purpose ...

Abstract: We present a unified analytical treatment supported by extensive experimental data of the interaction of ultrasonic waves with arbitrarily-oriented orthotropic elastic plates. The plates are assumed ...

Abstract: We develop the analysis for the propagation of free waves in a general anisotropic plate. We begin with a formal analysis of waves in a plate belonging to the triclinic symmetry group. The ...
