Abstract
This paper presents a single Lamb mode phased array beamforming by using a hybrid piezoelectric transducer (PZT)-scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (SLDV) system. The array system consists of a surface mounted PZT to generate Lamb waves and a non-contact SLDV to acquire high spatial resolution time-space wavefield remotely. The time-space wavefield contains Lamb waves which can be generated from the PZT excitation, damage scattering, mode conversion, etc. A frequency-wavenumber (f-k) decomposition technique is used to decompose the miscellaneous Lamb waves into individual wave mode components and wave propagations in different directions. The f-k decomposition allows using a single wave component as the phased array input for beamforming. The single mode array beamforming methodology was verified through PZT-SLDV experimental tests on an aluminum plate with a bonded quartz rod as a simulated damage
