Modelling of in-plane wave propagation in a plate using spectral element method and Kane-Mindlin theory with application to damage detection

This paper presents results of experimental and numerical analyses of in-plane waves propagatingin a 5 mm-thick steel plate in the frequency range of 120-300 kHz. For such a thickness/frequency ratio,extensional waves reveal dispersive character. To model in-plane wave propagation taking into account thethickness-stretch effect, a novel 2D spectral element, based on the Kane-Mindlin theory, was formulated. Anapplication of in-plane waves to damage detection is also discussed. Experimental investigations employing alaser vibrometer demonstrated that the position and length of a defect can precisely be identified by analysingreflected and diffracted waves.
