Abstract

The effect of angle beam transducer parameters such as wedge angle and width transducer on the Lamb wave field generated in the elastic-viscoelastic three-layer plate has been investigated using normal mode expansion method. At first, the propagation of Lamb wave in the three-layer plate has been investigated using global matrix method, and all the modes that are propagated in the three-layer plate have been specified. Then, the optimum parameters of angle beam transducer have been obtained to generate a mode with minimum attenuation at a specific frequency. In addition to this mode, other modes are also generated in the three-layer plate, but this mode has maximum energy in the three-layer plate. The results indicate that the energy contribution of the mode with minimum attenuation at a specific frequency is 99.9% of the total energy and this mode has the highest energy contribution.
