Abstract
In this paper, a modified laser induced grating technique (LIG) has been utilized to generate narrow band surface waves in an epoxy-bonded copper-aluminum layered structure. A high performance optical interferometer system was utilized to detect the laser-generated surface waves. The dispersion of surface wave in an epoxy-bonded copper-aluminum specimen was measured and compared with the theoretical solution. An inverse algorithm based on the simplex method was then introduced to determine the bonding thickness as well as the elastic properties of the bonding layer. The inversion results demonstrated that the thickness in the microm range or the elastic properties of the bonding layer could be successfully determined.
