Guided waves are utilized in structural health monitoring for identifying damage in material components. Simulations can be used to examine how elastic waves propagate in components to help in selecting measurement and data analysis techniques. In this work, the influence of grid size and the frequency sample rate on the amplitude accuracy and convergence of local interaction simulation approach/sharp interface model (LISA/SIM) numerical simulations are studied as they pertain to guided wave propagation in structural materials. These issues are studied in all three dimensions, and amplitude distortion with respect to the Courant–Friedrich–Lewy criterion is explored. The LISA/SIM enables accurate and fast modeling of localized and sharp changes in material properties across interfaces associated with heterogeneities and/ or boundaries. The validity of the simulation is demonstrated by comparing simulated responses with experimentally measured data. Additionally, Lamb wave dispersion curves are extracted through the course of the convergence study using a broadband pulse and the two-dimensional fast Fourier transform method.

Ultrasonic transducers are extensively used in medical applications. Any deterioration in their performance can lead to poor quality images. The Local Interaction Simulation Approach (LISA) and Finite Elements are used to model medical ultrasonic transducers. The entire analysis attempts to find out whether the LISA-based methodology could be used for transducer modelling in fault detection applications based on in-air reverberation patterns.
