The scattering problem of a shear horizontal guided wave in a piezoelectric bi-material strip is analysed by means of the "mirror method," the Green’s function method and guided wave theory. A harmonic out-of-plane line-source force is applied at the junction of two-phase materials. Then, the bi-material strip is divided into two parts, and a pair of in-plane electric fields and a pair of counter-planar forces are applied to the vertical boundary. According to the boundary conditions, the Fredholm integral equation of the first kind is established by using the conjunction method. By effectively truncating the integral equation, the integral equation is simplified to an algebraic equation. The electric field intensity concentration factor and dynamic stress concentration factor around the circular cavity are obtained. The research content of this article is of great reference value in non-destructive testing, providing a reference for the judgement of the reliability of a piezoelectric bi-material strip.

Corrosion Defects

Small-diameter tubes that are widely used in petroleum industries and power plants experience corrosion during long-term services. In this paper, a compact inserted guided-wave EMAT with a pulsed electromagnet is proposed for small-diameter tube inspection. The proposed transducer is noncontact, compact with high signal-to-noise ratio and unattractive to ferromagnetic tubes. The proposed EMAT is designed with coils-only configuration, which consists of a pulsed electromagnet and a meander pulser/receiver coil. Both the numerical simulation and experimental results validate its feasibility on generating and receiving L(0,2) mode guided wave. The parameters for driving the proposed EMAT are optimized by performance testing. Finally, feasibility on quantification evaluation for corrosion defects was verified by experiments.
