최근 3년간 판 구조물의 손상진단에서 시간반전램파 (Time reversal Lamb waves)의 가능성이 주목 받고 있다. 시간반전음향학(Time reversal acoustics)에 의하면 시간반전램파의 공간모임을 적절히 활용하면 판에 순간적으로 가해지거나 발생한 충격하중의 위치를 높은 공간해상도와 신호대 잡음비로 추정할 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 시간반전램파의 공간모임을 직사각형 평판에서 가상탐지자 모델을 이용하여 모사한다. 특히, 평판에서의 파 반사에 의해 발생하는 가상탐지자 효과에 의해 단일 부착형 압전소자만을 사용하더라도 시간반전 램파의 공간 모임 구현이 가능함을 보인다. 또한 제안된 방법의 결과를 유한 요소 해석결과와 비교하고 제안된 방법의 타당성을 보인다.

During the last three years, the possibility of the time reversal Lamb waves has been paid attention to for structural health monitoring of a plate. This study proposes a numerical scheme which can simulate the spatial focusing of time reversal Lamb waves on a rectangular plate. In this scheme, a time reversal process is formulated in the frequency domain using active virtual sensors being equivalent to the mirror effects of an actual sensor due to wave reflection on the plate boundary. Forward and backward Lamb wave propagations are represented by scalar functions for simulating the spatial focusing of time reversal Lamb waves. The validity of the proposed scheme is demonstrated through the comparison to the results of finite element analysis in which the spatial focusing of time reversal Lamb waves is realized by wafer-type piezoelectric(PZT) transducers collocated on a rectangular plate.

Researches using time reversal acoustics(TRA) for impact localization have been paid attention to recently. Dispersion characteristics of Lamb waves, which restrict the utility of classical nondestructive evaluation based on time-of-flight information, can be compensated through the application of TRA to Lamb waves on a plate. This study investigates the spatial focusing performance of time reversal Lamb waves on a plate using finite element analysis. In particular, the virtual sensor effect caused by multiple wave reflections at the boundaries of a plate is shown to enable the spatial focusing of Lamb waves though a very small number of surface-bonded piezoelectric(PZT) sensors are available. The time window size of forward response signals, are normalized with respect to the number of virtual active sensors. Then their effects on the spatial focusing performance of Lamb waves are investigated.
