Abstract: Guided elastic waves, propagating through curved waveguides, have attracted significant attention in the recent past, both from the perspectives of assessment of structural integrity and generating novel designs of acoustic ...

Abstract: The application of guided waves to investigate commonly used plate shapes in the aerospace, mechanical, and civil industries is plates with bend shapes. This article investigates the interaction of fundamental Lamb waves ...

Abstract: In view of their higher sensitivity in localizing an incipient damage, methods of non-destructive evaluation based on the nonlinear wave-damage interactions have been of continued interest in the recent past. In this paper, ...

Abstract: A guided wave-based method for localization of breathing delamination is presented in this investigation. The proposed technique utilizes one-way mixing of a dual-frequency fundamental antisymmetric Lamb modes with judiciously ...

Abstract: This study focuses on investigating hard-magnetic soft materials, characterized by magnetoactive polymers containing magnetically polarized particles as fillers. The research utilizes the Gent model of hyperelasticity to ...

Abstract: Electrically driven dielectric elastomers (DEs) suffer from an electromechanical instability (EMI) when the applied potential difference reaches a critical value. A majority of the past investigations address the mechanics ...
