Abstract
The commercial software Abaqus is used in this chapter to simulate the Lamb wave propagation in the steel plate, the circumferential Lamb wave in the pipe, and the L- and T-type guided waves in the axial direction of the pipe, as well as their interactions with the transverse defects. The “transverse” means that the extensional direction of the defect is perpendicular to the propagation direction of the guided waves. As a classic example, a stress corrosion crack on a gas transmission pipeline will generally stretch along the axial direction of the pipe. When the circumferential guided wave in the pipe is used, it is possible that the propagation path is perpendicular to the stretching direction of the tested defect.
