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 …

Ultrasonic processing has attracted increasing attention by people because ultrasonic
technology may represent a flexible 'green'alternative for energy efficient processes. The …

A magnetostrictive patch transducer (MPT) is a transducer that exploits the magnetostrictive
phenomena representing interactions between mechanical and magnetic fields in …

Guided wave inspection has proven to be a very effective method for the rapid inspection of
large structures. The fundamental shear horizontal (SH) wave mode in plates and the …

Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducers (EMATs) are an attractive alternative to standard
piezoelectric probes in a number of applications thanks to their contactless nature. EMATs …

A very typical and important application of Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducers (EMATs) is
the inspection of ferritic steels with normal bias field transducers. In this case, a controversy …

As an effective tool to inspect large plates, omni-directional guided wave transducers have
become more widely used to form phased-array inspection systems. While omni-directional …

The elastic waves generated by traditional meander-line coil electromagnetic acoustic
transducers (EMATs) propagate in two directions, overlap** the echo signals from defects …

When a sensor is located within a metallic housing, conveying data back to a controller or
data logger is not trivial. To maintain structural integrity, or simply for ease of installation, it is …

A new design of Window Function modulated electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs)
to generate unidirectional Rayleigh waves is proposed. The novel EMATs, Rectangular …
