Abstract Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) uses prefabricated elements that are made
continuous using cast-in-place joints. Deck joints are normally referred to as “Closure …

This paper experimentally investigates the early stage damage caused by the surface
corrosion in thin plates based on two nonlinear Lamb wave methods, which are the low …

Mutual wave interactions provide a very promising technique for nondestructive testing and
evaluation due to their exceptional sensitivity to micro-scale damage growth in metallic …

A simplified analytical model of contact acoustic nonlinearity (CAN) in pipe structures was
established and verified by finite element modelling to analyse the multimode second …

Non-collinear interaction of guided elastic waves in a homogeneous and isotropic plate with
quadratic material nonlinearity is analyzed theoretically to investigate the sum and …

This study aims to investigate the bond quality of aluminum–epoxy–aluminum tri-layer
bonds using nonlinear ultrasonics. An experimental methodology was developed in which …

Mechanical joining and welding are two widely used approaches in structures. Parts are put
together with bolts, clamps, etc. in mechanical joining and are joined by fusion in welding …

The early identification of damage of fracture-critical members is of the outmost importance
in the maintenance of a safe bridge infrastructure. A new Non-Destructive Evaluation …

Ultrasonic methods have an essential role in Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) and
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of infrastructure. Early damage in the structure can be …

Recent theoretical modeling has provided an understanding of how ultrasonic guided waves
interact in a plate, while initial experiments have demonstrated promise for using mutual …
