  • Method for detecting faults in plates
    Patent number: 11585789
    Abstract: A method for detecting faults in plates includes the steps of: transmitting an acoustic signal towards the plate from a transmitting transducer, and receiving the acoustical signal from the plate in a receiving transducer. The receiving transducer is mounted at a distance from the transmitting transducer. The method includes the further steps of identifying zones of the plate wherein energy levels of the received signals are attenuated compared to other zones of the plate, and comparing the energy levels of the A2 and S3 guided Lamb modes in the received signals in the identified zones.
