This article presents a review of air-coupled ultrasonics employed in the characterization or
nondestructive inspection of industrial materials. Developments in air-coupled transduction …

Static component (SC) generation of guided waves (GWs), which combines the high
sensitivity of acoustic nonlinearity to micro-damage and low attenuative effect, has great …

The methods and instrumentations for nondestructive testing (NDT), inspection (NDI), and
evaluation (NDE) of aerospace composites are discussed. The chapter starts with a …

In this work, we propose the laser-ultrasonic method for nondestructive evaluation of
porosity in particulate reinforced metal-matrix composites fabricated by stir and in-situ …

A new extension of the shear deformation theory to fifth order in order to calculate the
spectrum of Lamb waves in orthotropic media over a wide frequency range is developed …

Guided ultrasonic waves are used for the inspection of multilayered composite aerospace
structures. Calculating the corresponding dispersion diagrams is challenging for thick …

In this paper, the generation of quasistatic pulses (QSPs) of guided waves propagation in
fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) thin plates is investigated. Numerical perspective of the …
