Abstract
Guided waves scattered from defects in solid material might contain significant information about those defects. The major goal of non-destructive evaluation is to interpret the ultrasonic signatures from these defects. Scattering of Lamb waves from a normal, surface breaking defect is considered in this study. Reflection and transmission factors of the scattered modes are used to reconstruct the size of the flaws. Scattering Lamb waves from a crack have been investigated in [1–7]. Resonance phenomena for a crack parallel to the plate surface is considered in [5,6]. In this study, the boundary element method combined with the normal mode technique [1,8] is used to study the relationship between crack size and the parameters of the incident mode. Irregular behavior of the reflection coefficient for special parameters of the incident mode is used for size classification.
