Summary

Background

The field of ultrasonic guided waves has created much interest this past decade. The number of publications, research activities, and actual product quality control and in-service field inspection applications has increased significantly. Investigators worldwide are considering the possibilities of using ultrasonic guided waves in nondestructive testing (NDT) and structural health monitoring (SHM), and in many other engineering fields. Tremendous opportunities exist because of the hundreds of guided wave modes and frequencies that are available for certain waveguides. Researchers have made tremendous advancements in utilizing mode and frequency selection to solve many problems, for example, in applications for testing pipe, rail, plate, ship hull, aircraft, gas entrapment detection in pipelines, and even ice detection and deicing of rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft structures. These have become possible by examining special wave structures that are available via certain modes and frequencies that are capable of effectively carrying out these special work efforts.

Ultrasonic guided waves in solid media have become a critically important subject in NDT and SHM. New faster, more sensitive, and more economical ways of looking at materials and structures have become possible when compared to the previously used normal beam ultrasonic or other inspection techniques. For example, the process of inspecting an insulated pipe required removing all the insulation and using a single probe to check with a normal beam along the length of the pipe with thousands of waveforms. Now, one can use a guided wave probe at a single location, leave the insulation intact, and perhaps inspect the entire pipe by examining just a few waveforms. The knowledge presented in this book will lead to creative ideas that can be used in new inspection developments and procedures.
