Shear-wave sounding of a laminar half space with a crack

  • Published:
Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The results obtained can be used to detect surface flaws of the lamination type in thin multilayer plates using Laue waves.

  2. 2.

    The program used for computing the transfer function makes it possible to plot simple approximate relationships between crack parameters, the degree of anisotropy of the medium, and the parameters of the echo signal.
