Vol. 28, No. 6 (2011) 064301 A Baseline-Free Defect Imaging Technique in Plates Using Time Reversal of Lamb Waves * Hyunjo Jeong** , Sungjong Cho, Wei Wei Division of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, Wonkwang University, Iksan, Jeonbuk 570-749, Korea (Received 6 January 2011) We present an analytical investigation for a baseline-free imaging of a defect in plate-like structures using the time-reversal of Lamb waves. We first consider the flexural wave (戆? mode) propagation in a plate containing a defect, and reception and time reversal process of the output signal at the receiver. The received output signal is then composed of two parts: a directly propagated wave and a scattered wave from the defect. The time reversal of these waves recovers the original input signal, and produces two additional sidebands that contain the time-of- flight information on the defect location. One of the side-band signals is then extracted as a pure defect signal. A defect localization image is then constructed from a beamforming technique based on the time-frequency analysis of the side band signal for each transducer pair in a network of sensors. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme enables the accurate, baseline-free imaging of a defect.
