Shear horizontal (SH) waves are of great importance in structural health monitoring (SHM)
and nondestructive testing (NDT), since the lowest order SH wave in isotropic plates is non …

Rail inspection research is a substantive topic for the railway industry. Management of
rolling contact fatigue rail defects is crucial for transport safety worldwide because …

The main advantage of electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) over piezoelectric
transducers is that no direct contact with the specimen under test is required. Therefore …

Silicon steel laminations are introduced as the back-plate to an electromagnetic acoustic
transducer (EMAT) to increase the efficiency of the EMAT by increasing the magnitude of the …

A simplified model of surface wave generation from finite width sources is presented, and it
is shown that the generated wave is given by the convolution of the spatial profile of the …

The Electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) is used in a number of non-destructive
testing applications [1–5]. The EMAT's operation is principally based on one of two …

As an important branch of non-destructive testing, electromagnetic ultrasonic testing is
widely used in various industries because of its high detection efficiency and the lack of a …

As a typical stressed state, uniaxial stress widely exists in the components, such as bolt
stress, which requires to be tested in-situ regularly. In this article, the uniaxial stress in-situ …

The interest in applying non-destructive testing to the examination of the flaw and
measurement of the thickness in the metals at high temperatures is increasing as the metal …

Typically, meander-line-coil electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) with wires of a
constant length are used to generate Rayleigh waves. However, significant side lobes are …
