Lamb and SH waves; air-coupled transducers; composite materials
Electrostatic, air-coupled, ultrasonic transducers are used to generate and detect guided waves in anisotropic solid plates. Waves considered in this study are Lamb-type and SH-type, guided modes. If the plane of propagation coincides with a plane of symmetry of the material, then Lamb modes only are launched and detected by the transducers. If the plane of propagation does not coincide with a plane of symmetry of the material, then Lamb modes are still generated and detected, but guided, SH-like modes are, too. The variation of phase velocity with frequency is measured for several modes propagating in different directions along a glass-epoxy composite plate. A numerical model that takes into account the anisotropy of composite materials is developed to predict the dispersion curves (phase velocity, group velocity or wave-number versus frequency) and the displacement fields of plate waves, the plane of propagation being either a plane of symmetry or not. The experimental phase velocities are in good agreement with the predicted dispersion curves, thus showing that the forward problem concerning the propagation of plate waves in anisotropic, homogeneous, composite material plates is properly solved. The dispersion curves associated with the predicted displacement fields show that guided modes in composite plates have different behaviors depending on their direction of propagation.
