본 논문은 램파(Lamb waves)를 이용한 능동검사시스템을 구조 건전성 모니터링 시스템에 적용하기 위하여 램파의 특성연구를 수행하였다 연구는 보다 실제 구조물에 근접한 구조물을 고려하여 두께변화가 있는 준등방성 복합재 평판을 대상으로 PZT 탐촉자(transducer)를 표면에 부착하여 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 두께변화로 인한 램파의 전파특성을 분석하기 위하여 간단하지만 새로운 기법을 적용하였다 본 연구의 결과는 램파의 전파특성은 상대적으로 얇은 구조물에 민감하였고 두께변화가 램파의 전파에 미치는 영향을 보여 주었다. 또한 본 연구에 사용한 분석기법은 램파를 이용한 구조 건전성 모니터링에 적용할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다.

The paper deals with the study of the dispersion of quasi-Lamb waves in a hydro-elastic system consisting of an elastic plate, barotropic compressible inviscid fluid, and rigid wall. The motion of the plate is described using the exact equations of elastodynamics, however, the flow of the fluid using the linearized equations and relations of the Navier-Stokes equations. The corresponding dispersion equation is obtained and this equation is solved numerically, as a result of which the corresponding dispersion curves are constructed. The main attention is focused on the effect of the presence of the fluid and the effect of the fluid layer thickness (i.e., the fluid depth) on the dispersion curves. The influence of the problem parameters on the dispersion curves related to the quasi-Scholte wave is also considered. As a result of the analyses of the numerical results, concrete conclusions are made about the influence of the fluid depth, the rigid wall restriction on the fluid motion, and the material properties of the constituents on the dispersion curves. During the analyses, the zeroth and the first four modes of the propagating waves are considered.

The paper studies the dispersion and attenuation of propagating waves in the "plate+compressible viscous fluid layer" system in the case where the fluid layer flow is restricted with a rigid wall, and in the case where the fluid layer has a free face. The motion of the plate is described by the exact equations of elastodynamics and the flow of the fluid by the linearized Navier-Stokes equations for compressible barotropic Newtonian viscous fluids. Analytical expressions are obtained for the amplitudes of the sought values, and the dispersion equation is derived using the corresponding boundary and compatibility conditions. To find the complex roots of the dispersion equation, an algorithm based on equating the modulus of the dispersion determinant to zero is developed. Numerical results on the dispersion and attenuation curves for various pairs of plate and fluid materials under different fluid layer face conditions are presented and discussed. Corresponding conclusions on the influence of the problem parameters on the dispersion and attenuation curves are made and, in particular, it is established that the change of the free face boundary condition with the impermeability condition can influence the dispersion and attenuation curves not only in the quantitative, but also in the qualitative sense.
