The aim of the investigation presented here was to understand how the viscosity parameters of an adhesive layer affect group velocity and attenuation of the double-layer adhered pipe. Various parameter combinations (attenuation of longitudinal wave and shear wave, pαL and qαT; thickness, d; and density, nρ) were utilized in order to generate different uncured degrees of the adhesive layer. In the frequency range 0∼500 kHz, the group velocity dispersion curves and attenuation dispersion curves were obtained from these models. Then, the group velocity and attenuation of the two commonly used modes, L0,2 and T0,1, were compared and analyzed. The results have shown that it is important to remark that little effect on group velocity was caused, and significant linear increases of attenuation occur with increase in q, d, and n. However, variable p had little effect on attenuation; more modes emerged when d increased or n decreased, causing difficulties on mode identification and signal processing. The numerical results provided a useful way to evaluate bonding quality by measuring the group velocity and attenuation in the pipelines.

Multimode’s Lamb waves in aluminum plates with various defects were excited by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The Lamb waves past through the defects were received a laser interferometer. The received signals of the Lamb waves are processed by the wavelet transformation. The wavelet transformation is generally shown on the time-frequency domain. By dividing a propagation distance by the time, the group velocities are identified. In this way, group velocity dispersion maps of multimode’s Lamb waves are constructed with the received temporal signals. By changing the shape of the mother wavelet, Gabor function, we can identify the dispersion curves of the higher mode Lamb waves. The group velocity dispersion maps of a intact specimen agree well on theoretical dispersion curves of S0, A0, S1, A1, S2, A2, and A3 modes. The difference between the dispersion maps of the intact specimen and that with defects clearly visualizes the existence of defects. This non-contact method is effective for inspecting various defects in thin plate structures.

Noise Data

Abstract Inversion of internal structure of the Earth using surface waves and free oscillations is a hot topic in seismological research nowadays. With the ambient noise data on seismically quiet days sourced from the gravity tidal observations of seven global distributed superconducting gravimeters (SGs) and the seismic observations for validation from three collocated STS-1 seismometers, long-period surface waves and background free oscillations are successfully extracted by the phase autocorrelation (PAC) method, respectively. Group-velocity dispersion curves at the frequency band of 2–7.5 mHz are extracted and compared with the theoretical values calculated with the preliminary reference Earth model. The comparison shows that the best observed values differ about ±2% from the corresponding theoretical results, and the extracted group velocities of the best SG are consistent with the result of the collocated STS-1 seismometer. The results indicate that reliable group-velocity dispersion curves can be measured with the ambient noise data from SGs. Furthermore, the fundamental frequency spherical free oscillations of 2–7 mHz are also clearly extracted using the same ambient noise data. The results in this study show that the SG, besides the seismometer, is proved to be another kind of instrument that can be used to observe long-period surface waves and free oscillations on seismically quiet days with a high degree of precision using the PAC method. It is worth mentioning that the PAC method is first and successfully introduced to analyze SG observations in our study.

The Difference

To understand more about Lamb waves on composite laminates damage detection features, the Lamb wave group velocity dispersion curves are calculated and plotted by using dichotomy method in MATLAB. The signal parameters are chosen according to Group velocity dispersion curves. The dynamic response signals of the composite plate are obtained by finite element method. Damage location is calculated by the actual group velocity of Lamb wave and time of flight of the difference signal before and after damage.

Ultrasonic Guided Wave

Abstract Ultrasonic guided wave techniques have great potential for structural health monitoring applications. Appropriate mode and frequency selection is the basis for achieving optimised damage monitoring performance. In this paper, several important guided wave mode attributes are introduced in addition to the commonly used phase velocity and group velocity dispersion curves while using the general corrosion problem as an example. We first derive a simple and generic wave excitability function based on the theory of normal mode expansion and the reciprocity theorem. A sensitivity dispersion curve is formulated based on the group velocity dispersion curve. Both excitability and sensitivity dispersion curves are verified with finite element simulations. Finally, a goodness dispersion curve concept is introduced to evaluate the tradeoffs between multiple mode selection objectives based on the wave velocity, excitability and sensitivity.
