Long-range guided wave inspection is a new emerging technology for rapidly and globally inspecting a large area of a structure from a single test location. This paper describes a general overview of the guided wave properties and its application for long-range inspection of structures the principle and instrument system for a guided wave inspection technology called "magnetostrictive sensor (MsS)" that generates and detects guided waves electromagnetically in the material under testing, and examples of long-range guided wave inspection of structures that can be accomplished using the MsS.
