Ultrasonic inspection is widely used for non-destructive evaluation of composite adhesive
joints. However, there are serious challenges in applying ultrasonic testing on metal to …

Adhesive bonding has become increasingly important in many industries. Non-destructive
inspection of adhesive joints is essential for the condition assessment and maintenance of a …

The effect of interfacial properties on the reflection and transmission characteristics of
ultrasonic waves at adhesively bonded joints is theoretically investigated. An adhesive joint …

The paper presents the experimental validation of the applicability of the effective spring
boundary conditions (ESBC), where spring stiffness is expressed in terms of material …

The second-harmonic generation of the fundamental antisymmetric Lamb wave at a closed
parallel crack in an elastic plate is studied by numerical analysis. The closed crack is …

The purpose of the current study is to evaluate the failure response and transverse impact
behavior of adhesively bonded dissimilar single-lap composite joints fabricated by using …

The reflection and transmission characteristics of Lamb waves at an adhesive single lap
joint of plates are examined theoretically by the hybrid finite element method. The adhesive …

In order to gain basic insight into the interaction between ultrasonic guided waves and
structural discontinuities with contacting surfaces, the transmission characteristics of Lamb …

The scattering phenomena of the zero-order antisymmetric Lamb wave mode with a
horizontal crack of finite length, symmetrically positioned with respect to the median plane of …

Human health monitoring (HHM) is essential for continued daily task execution, as is
structural health monitoring (SHM) for structures to ensure the continual performance of their …
