Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation
Center for Nondestructive Evaluation

Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.

This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract

Laser-generated transient Lamb waves have been proven to be a useful tool for determining thin plate thickness and elastic constants. The measurement relies on the wide range of frequencies generated by the thermoelastic or ablation laser source [1]. The dispersion relation of the lowest Lamb-wave modes can be determined using established signal processing techniques. Usually the Lamb-wave packet propagating on a plate is observed using for example a) a contact “wedge” transducer, b) by observing the leakage of energy in directions where the k-matching condition is fulfilled or c) an interferometer, d) with near-field microphones with spatial periodicity on the sensitive surface to pick a particular wavelength [2,3,4,5]. The last three of these methods are non-contacting and therefore attractive for practical applications.
