title = "Phased array tuning for optimal ultrasonic guided wave mode selection",
abstract = "Ultrasonic guided waves have become widely used in a variety of nondestructive evaluation applications due to their efficiency in defect detection, ability to inspect hidden areas, and other reasons. With a thorough understanding of guided wave mechanics, researchers can predict which guided wave modes will have a high probability of success in a particular nondestructive evaluation application. However, work continues to find optimal mode and frequency selection. An {"}optimal{"} mode could give the highest sensitivity to defects or the greatest penetration power, increasing inspection efficiency. In this work, we consider the use of guided interface waves for bond evaluation. A phased comb array transducer is used to sweep in the phase velocity - frequency space in an effort to determine optimal modes.",
