Description
The book "Ultrasonic Guided Waves In Solid Media" discusses the importance of ultrasonic guided waves in nondestructive testing and structural health monitoring. It presents new methods for inspecting materials and structures that are faster, more sensitive, and more economical. The book also provides a framework for collecting and processing data using ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation and structural health monitoring. It can be read by both professionals and students, and can be used as a reference or textbook. This book is an extension of the author's previous work on ultrasonic waves in solid media.
Ultrasonic guided waves in solid media have become a critically important subject in nondestructive testing and structural health monitoring, as new faster, more sensitive, and more economical ways of looking at materials and structures have become possible. This book will lead to fresh creative ideas for use in new inspection procedures. Although the mathematics is sometimes sophisticated, the book can also be read by managers without detailed understanding of the concepts as it can be read from a "black box" point of view. Overall, the material presented on wave mechanics - in particular, guided wave mechanics - establishes a framework for the creative data collection and signal processing needed to solve many problems using ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation and structural health monitoring. The book can be used as a reference in ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation by professionals and as a textbook for seniors and graduate students. This work extends the coverage of Rose's earlier book Ultrasonic Waves in Solid Media.
