Abstract

Ultrasonic guided wave mode control and steering using phased array transducers (PATs) is studied. A PAT with elements arranged on a cylindrical-polar grid is proposed to overcome the problem of large side-lodes associated with a rectangular grid PAT. The PAT is visualized as a spatio-temporal filter to calculate phase delays. Wavenumber bands resulting from the radial rows enable constructive interfere only in the vicinity of the desired wavenumber and angle of propagation. Finite element simulations are presented to study PAT performance.
