Many nondestructive testing (NDT) and structural health monitoring (SHM) systems utilize Lamb wave transducer arrays for identification and localization of scattering wave sources. A large number of transducers are usually required during array signal processing and source localization, which increases hardware cost and reduces system reliability. To overcome this limitation, a metamaterial structure is designed in this study to realize source localization with a single transmitter-receiver combination. The basic design principle is the utilization of local resonators to customize propagation characteristics of Lamb waves. In particular, amplitude-frequency modulation and velocity dispersion are customized during metamaterial design. Uncorrelated amplitude-frequency modulation is extracted from signal frequency spectrum for orientation identification. Velocity dispersion is extracted from signal time-frequency spectrum for distance evaluation. After orientation
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
