Tomograms with guided waves

Submitted by alexcripton on

hello

I am new to guided waves and I want to make a research on tomography of these waves. I have found several methods but there are some problems:

1.I can not get much info from articles on how to implement?

2. Nobody has done a comparisonn between methods and the best method is not recognised/

3. I should know some prequisites of Signnal Processing and Tomography (both in concept and writing codes) and I'd like to ask if annyone knows some good resources

 

Thanks a lot  in advance

 

Focused Section on Mechanics of Carbon Nanomaterials

Submitted by Yonggang Huang on

Carbon nanomaterials (carbon nanotubes, graphene, …) have received significant attention from the academia and industry in the past two decades owing to their superior material properties. Mechanicians have played a major role in the fundamental understanding of the mechanical properties of carbon nanomaterials, and in their wide-range applications. 

Lamb wave simulation - Problem with high Frequencies

Submitted by r_1159 on

Hi

I have prepared a very simple model in abaqus which is an Aluminum beam under A0 lamb wave. It wors perfectly with low frequencies andthe amplitude plot shows a clear one in various control points.

But when I increase the frequency to 200khz that nice and neat plot is not obtained. I have attached two plots 1-excitation wave 2- amplitude on control point

could you please advise as to why this happens on high frequencies and what is the solution to this ?
