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 …

In the past decades, Lamb waves (LW) have seen encouraging results when applied to non
destructive testing (NDT) and structural health monitoring (SHM), with important research …

Guided wave (GW)-based techniques have been extensively investigated and applied in
material characterization, damage detection, and structural health monitoring. A …

Guided waves play a crucial role in non-destructive testing, offering a reliable and efficient
means for inspecting structures and materials. In this paper, we present the implementation …

The use of guided wave-based Ultrasonic Testing (UT) for monitoring Polyethylene (PE)
pipes is mostly restricted to detecting defects in welded zones, despite its diversified success …

The unavoidable increase in train speed and load, as well as the aging of railway facilities,
is requiring more and more attention to rail defects detection. As a promising tool for rail, in …

In this paper, a method is presented for the numerical computation of dispersion properties
and mode shapes of guided waves in plate structures. The formulation is based on the …

Inspection of adhesively bonded metallic plates, commonly used in aircraft structures,
remains challenging for modern non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques. When a probing …

Elongated cylindrical structures like rods, pipes, cable strands or fibers, support the
propagation of mechanical waves at ultrasonic frequencies along their axes. This …

The paper concerns assessing the quality of the adhesive connection between a steel plate
and the reinforcing CFRP laminate. A three-stage algorithm for non-destructive damage …
