Abstract

Leaky Lamb waves (LLW) have been extensively considered in the direct problem of reflection of elastic waves from liquid-coupled orthotropic plates [1-4] and in the inverse problem to determine the elastic properties of composites [5] This determination is based on the measurement of the incidence angle (or frequency) at fixed frequency (or fixed incidence angle) corresponding to the generation of LLW from the measurement of the amplitude of transmitted (or reflected) waves through (or by) the sample.
