Abstract:
This paper investigates the propagation of Lamb waves in thin plates with quadratic nonlinearity by one-way mixing method using numerical simulations. It is shown that an A0-mode wave can be generated by a pair of S0 and A0 mode waves only when mixing condition is satisfied, and mixing wave signals are capable of locating the damage zone. Additionally, it is manifested that the acoustic nonlinear parameter increases linearly with quadratic nonlinearity but monotonously with the size of mixing zone. Furthermore, because of frequency deviation, the waveform of the mixing wave changes significantly from a regular diamond shape to toneburst trains.
