Abstract:
This paper focuses on transmission characteristics of fundamental symmetric Lamb mode (So) at the junction of a main waveguide and sub-waveguides in composite laminates. Numerical simulations on transmission of So from the main to sub-waveguide revealed that transmission factors of the modes depend on stacking sequence of plies in the waveguides. Experiments were carried out to verify the observations made in numerical simulations. This work gives an insight on the transmission characteristics of So mode while it propagates from a healthy to a delaminated region in a composite laminate.

Propagation of Waves
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...
