Abstract

The use of Lamb waves for structural health monitoring (SHM) has complicated by its multi-mode character and dispersion effect, which impacts the damage positioning and high-resolution imaging. The group velocity dispersion curves of Lamb waves can be employed to warp the frequency axis, and then to establish warped frequency transform (WFT) to process Lamb waves. In this paper, received signals are directly compensated with warped frequency transform to suppress dispersion, and a new imaging method is proposed based on warped frequency transform. The propagation of Lamb waves in damaged aluminum plate is simulated by finite element software ABAQUS, results show that warped frequency transform can effectively compensate dispersive wave-packets, and high-resolution damage imaging can be obtained by the proposed method.
