Abstract

In recent years some progresses have been made in acoustic source localization (ASL) in highly anisotropic plates when the plate material properties are not known. Some simplifying assumptions in many of the earlier source localization techniques that the wave propagates along a straight line from the source to the receiving sensor is not correct for many anisotropic plates. Wave energy in anisotropic solids generally propagate along curved lines and forms non-circular wave fronts. As a result, for highly anisotropic solids the acoustic source localization techniques that assume straight-line propagation of waves from the source to the receiver are bound to give erroneous results. In this paper earlier techniques as well as new developments for acoustic source localization in homogeneous isotropic and anisotropic plates are discussed. The newest source localization techniques in anisotropic plates analyze the non-circular shapes of the wave front. Following this analysis, the acoustic source has been successfully localized in some anisotropic plates without knowing the plate properties. Limitations of the current techniques that still exist and require further investigation are discussed.
