Abstract
The effectiveness of exciting the Lamb waves in realizing one of the possible variants of the electromagnetic-acoustic (EMA) conversion whose feature is the interaction between eddy currents induced in a plane layer and a nonuniform magnetic field generated by a direct current owing through the layer is considered. Simple relations between the EMA coupling coefficients are obtained in two limiting cases: when the thickness of the electrically conducting part of the layer is either much greater or much less than the skin-layer depth.
