Shear horizontal (SH) waves are of great importance in structural health monitoring (SHM)
and nondestructive testing (NDT), since the lowest order SH wave in isotropic plates is non …

A three-part finite element model is developed that characterizes the ultrasonic pulse
produced by an electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT). The model represents several …

The elastic waves generated by traditional meander-line coil electromagnetic acoustic
transducers (EMATs) propagate in two directions, overlapping the echo signals from defects …

A new high-power electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) solid state pulser system
has been developed that is capable of driving up to 4 EMAT coils with programmable phase …

Surface wave electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) are becoming preferred
sensors of automatic inspection systems for the detection of surface-layer defects in hostile …

This paper presents a method which combines electromagnetic simulation and ultrasonic
simulation to build EMAT array models. For a specific sensor configuration, Lorentz forces …

Electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) operating in transmitting mode are
examined. Two different finite element formulations, derived for two different definitions of …

Electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) is a kind of non-contact ultrasonic transducer,
and during its operation, no liquid coupling is required. Despite this advantage, EMAT has …

The periodic permanent magnet electromagnetic acoustic transducer (PPM EMAT) is a
sensor that can generate and receive shear horizontal (SH) waves without direct contact …

This chapter introduces the reader too important physical and mathematical concepts in
acoustics. It presents an approach to finite and boundary element techniques for linear time …
