A method to quantify the interface shear stiffness, adhesive shear modulus and adhesive
thickness in an aluminium-epoxy-aluminium joint is presented. Shear horizontal guided …

This study aims to investigate elastic wave localization that leverages defect band splitting in
a phononic crystal with double defects through in-depth analysis of comparison of numerical …

Adhesive bonded joints are frequently adopted in structural applications. The adhesive
aging, low quality of surface preparation, as well as the exposure to external harsh …

Laser ultrasonics could be an attractive solution for the nondestructive testing of structures in
harsh environments. Longitudinal waves generated in the ablation regime are especially …

This paper aims to develop a technique for estimating an aluminium/epoxy/aluminium lap
shear joint stiffness. Shear horizontal guided waves are employed using periodic permanent …

The gravity-induced depth-dependent elastic properties of a granular half-space result in
multiple dispersive surface modes and demand the consideration of material heterogeneity …

Despite growing demands for structures in water transportation tunnels, underground
installations, subsurface dams, and subterranean channels, there is limited field knowledge …

Materials composed of metals and plastic composites joined through adhesive bonding are
being increasingly used. However, debonding of such materials may occur during …

A resonant metasurface design based on boundary condition (BC) manipulation was
recently established to control low-frequency Lamb waves in a plate. This study identifies the …

The identification of structural damage in composite waveguides is a critical issue in
aerospace and transportation industries. Frequently, these structures involve periodic …
