This article presents the WaveFormRevealer-an analytical framework and predictive tool for the simulation of guided Lamb wave propagation and interaction with damage. The theory of inserting damage effects into the analytical model is addressed, including wave transmission, reflection, mode conversion, and nonlinear higher harmonics. The analytical model is coded into MATLAB, and a graphical user interface (WaveFormRevealer graphical user interface) is developed to obtain real-time predictive waveforms for various combinations of sensors, structural properties, and damage. In this article, the main functions of WaveFormRevealer are introduced. Case studies of selective Lamb mode linear and nonlinear interaction with damage are presented. Experimental verifications are carried out. The article finishes with summary and conclusions followed by recommendations for further work.
