Abstract
A multi-mode approach for real-time inspection of structural components may be applied to rapid, wide area measurement of thickness of thick plate-like structures using full-field multi-mode response measurement and analysis. The approach may allow estimation of thickness from full-field multi-mode response to single-tone ultrasonic excitation in thick plates. The approach may utilize wavenumber information across all available wave modes in order to make wavenumber spectroscopy sensitive to changes in thickness for a broader range of nominal initial thicknesses.
