Separation of Lamb modes at a plate edge by using orthogonality relation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lamb modes are widely used for non-destructive evaluation of plate-like structures and simple interpretation procedures for the analysis of the monitored structures are needed. In this study we apply the orthogonality relation based method for post-processing Finite Element (FE) predictions in order to separate Lamb modes at a plate edge. The reflected wave field from the free edge is a superposition of all the eigenmodes of an infinite plate. The eigenmode amplitudes of the reflected wave field are determined by applying the orthogonality-based method. Overlapping wavepackets of Lamb modes at a plate edge are simulated by using the FE model of the incident S0 mode in a plate with a crack. Time-domain signals of propagating and non-propagating modes are extracted.

Symmetry issues in the hybridization of multi-mode waves with resonators: an example with Lamb waves metamaterial
Locally resonant metamaterials derive their effective properties from hybridization between their resonant unit cells and the incoming wave. This phenomenon is well understood in the case of plane waves that propagate in media where the unit cell respects the symmetry of the incident field. However, in many systems, several modes with orthogonal symmetries can coexist at a given frequency, whil...
متن کاملEdge resonance and zero group velocity Lamb modes in a free elastic plate.
The local resonances of a free isotropic elastic plate are investigated using laser ultrasonic techniques. Experimental results are interpreted in terms of zero group velocity Lamb modes and edge mode. At a distance from the edge larger than the plate thickness a sharp resonance is observed at the frequency where the group velocity of the first symmetrical Lamb mode vanishes. Close to the edge ...
متن کاملExcitation of normal modes of a thin elastic plate by moving dislocations
We study the excitation of harmonic waves in thin elastic samples by a single dislocation in arbitrary motion. We consider both screw and edge dislocations that move perpendicularly to the surfaces of the layer. In Fourier space the displacement velocity and dynamic stress fields generated by the motion of the dislocations are factored as the product of two terms: one depends on the motion of t...
متن کاملMeasurement of phase velocity dispersion curves and group velocities in a plate using leaky Lamb waves
The guided wave has been widely employed to characterize thin plates and layered media. The dispersion curves of phase and group velocities are essential for the quantitative application of guided waves. The technique using leaky Lamb wave (LLW) is one of the excellent methods to obtain dispersion curves. In the present work, a fully automated system for the measurement of LLW has been develope...
متن کاملFrequency Aanalysis of Annular Plates Having a Small Core and Guided Edges at Both Inner and Outer Boundaries
This paper deals with frequency analysis of annular plates having a small core and guided edges at both inner and outer boundaries. Using classical plate theory the governing differential equation of motion for the annular plate having a small core is derived and solved for the case of plate being guided at inner and outer edge boundaries. The fundamental frequencies for the first six modes of ...
