Abstract
The acoustic displacements excited by a laser line source under either the ablation or thermoelastic regime are calculated for a two-layered cylinder made of homogeneous and isotropic materials. Two samples made by welding tin in two different copper tubes are considered. Experimental displacements are observed by the laser ultrasonic technique, and corresponding theoretical waveforms are calculated. Good agreement is found in the arrival time, shape, and relative amplitude of various longitudinal and shear bulk waves propagating in the two-layered cylinders, and the waves reflected by the interface are further identified by the ray trajectory analysis. The longitudinal wave reflected at the interface may be used for the nondestructive evaluation of the interface quality.
