Surface Breaking Crack

The main objectives of this study are to investigate the interference of multiple bottom reflected waves in the surface wave transmission (SWT) measurements in a plate and to propose a practical guide to source-and-receiver locations to obtain reliable and consistent SWT measurements in a plate. For these purposes, a series of numerical simulations, such as finite element modelling (FEM), are performed to investigate the variation of transmission coefficient of surface waves across a surface-breaking crack in various source-to-receiver configurations in plates. Main variables in this study include the crack depths (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mm), plate thicknesses (150, 200, 300, 400 and 800 mm), source-to-crack distances (100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 mm) and receiver-to-crack distances. The validity of numerical simulation results was verified by comparison with results from experiments using Plexiglas specimens using two types of noncontact sensors (laser vibrometer and air-coupled sensor) in the laboratory. Based on simulation and experimental results in this study, practical guidelines for sensor-to-receiver locations are proposed to reduce the effects of the interference of bottom reflected waves on the SWT measurements across a surface-breaking crack in a plate. The findings in this study will help obtain reliable and consistent SWT measurements across a surface-breaking crack in plate-like structures.
