Abstract
Lamb's solution for two-dimensional wave propagation was used to identify plate bending wave characteristics observed in loose part impact signals. The surface displacement wave is shown to have large second derivatives at points that can be used to measure the impact contact time. General features of the initial impact wave shape provide guidance for the use of spectral analysis techniques to identify the contact time and wave arrival time when there is a low signal-to-noise ratio. Improvements in the determination of contact time improve the estimation of loose part mass and energy through the Hertz impact parameters. The shape of the initial impact wave shape can also be used to identify on which side of the plate the impact took place. This information has applications for Loose Part Monitoring System metal impact signal validation and for improved estimation of loose part parameters.
