AbstractThis research is focused on exploring the fluid loading effects on the dispersion curves of Lamb modes propagating in a piezoelectric plate. A theoretical treatment based on a partial wave analysis is developed to model the dispersion curves of Lamb modes propagating in an X-LiNbO3 plate loaded by a fluid with combined mechanical/dielectric properties. In particular, the mode-shifting characteristics caused by the fluid loading as a function of the propagation orientation are illustrated with numerical examples. Finally, for the case of water as an immersing fluid, individual attributions of the mechanical and dielectric loading effects causing the mode-shifting are analyzed. It is found that the dielectric loading effect dominates the mode-shifting while the mechanical density loading can be neglected while Lamb waves propagate in an X-LiNbO3 plate immersing in water. The current results provides useful information for the applications of acoustic plate mode (APM) devices used in liquid sensor applications.

Multimode’s Lamb waves in aluminum plates with various defects were excited by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The Lamb waves past through the defects were received a laser interferometer. The received signals of the Lamb waves are processed by the wavelet transformation. The wavelet transformation is generally shown on the time-frequency domain. By dividing a propagation distance by the time, the group velocities are identified. In this way, group velocity dispersion maps of multimode’s Lamb waves are constructed with the received temporal signals. By changing the shape of the mother wavelet, Gabor function, we can identify the dispersion curves of the higher mode Lamb waves. The group velocity dispersion maps of a intact specimen agree well on theoretical dispersion curves of S0, A0, S1, A1, S2, A2, and A3 modes. The difference between the dispersion maps of the intact specimen and that with defects clearly visualizes the existence of defects. This non-contact method is effective for inspecting various defects in thin plate structures.
