Abstract

Lamb wave tomography (LWT) is a potential and efficient technique for non-destructive tomographic reconstruction of damage images in structural components or materials. A two-stage inverse algorithm proposed by the authors for quickly reconstructing the damage images was applied to hollow cylinders. An aluminum hollow cylinder with an internal surface pit and a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) laminated hollow cylinder with an artificial internal surface damage were used to validate the proposed method. The results show that the present method is capable of successfully reconstructing the images of the above damages in a larger inspection area with much less experimental data compared to some conventional ultrasonic tomography techniques.
