Abstract
In this paper, Lamb wave propagation in large plates and its use in internal defect detection have been studied. The Lamb modes which are most efficient for detecting different types of internal defects are identified. Stress fields inside the plate for different Lamb modes are computed. From these stress plots one can conclude which Lamb mode should be efficient for detecting which type of material defect. Theoretical predictions are experimentally verified.
