Abstract

Wave propagation was studied for an unidirectionally reinforced composite materials. The velocities, the particle directions and the amplitudes of reflected and transmitted waves were obtained. This analysis involves an immersion C-scan procedure. Snell's law was modified to get the velocities of waves. This analysis could be applied to the detection of flaws in a transversely isotropic composite motor case.
