Abstract

A theoretical and experimental study of ultrasonic plate waves in machine-made paper is described. The paper is assumed to behave as a homogeneous orthotropic plate. The dispersion equation for orthotropic plate waves in principal directions is then developed analytically. It is shown that at low frequencies the orthotropic dispersion equation depends only on in-plane parameters. Using appropriate elastic constants, a computer is used to construct the dispersion curves and describe the internal motion for plate waves in paper. Finally, a portion of the dispersion curve is checked experimentally.
