“…In general, the studies focused on understanding the physical insights into the guided wave interaction with different types of damages, e.g. thickness reduction 13,14 , crack 15,16 , delamination [17][18][19] and debonding [20][21][22] , and developing guided wave based damage detection techniques using time-of-flight information of the waves 23,24 , maximum-likelihood estimation 25 , imaging approach [26][27][28] , phase-array approach 29,30 , model-based approach 31 and time-reversal approach 32,33 etc.…”
