LissendenBasel, Switzerland :MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute,2020.1 online resource (376 pages) illustrations3-03928-299-9 The propagation of ultrasonic guided waves in solids is an important area of scientific inquiry, primarily due to their practical applications for nondestructive characterization of materials, such as nondestructive inspection, quality assurance testing, structural health monitoring, and providing a material state awareness. This Special Issue of Applied Sciences covers all aspects of ultrasonic guided waves (e.g., phased array transducers, meta-materials to control wave propagation characteristics, scattering, attenuation, and signal processing techniques) from the perspective of modeling, simulation, laboratory experiments, or field testing. In order to fully utilize ultrasonic guided waves for these applications, it is necessary to have a firm grasp of their requisite characteristics, which include that they are multimodal, dispersive, and are comprised of unique displacement profiles through the thickness of the waveguide.Civil engineeringUltrasonic equipmentCivil engineering.Ultrasonic equipment.624Lissenden Clifford J.1348564NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910688307503321Ultrasonic Guided Waves3086097UNINA
