Circumference Damage Identification in a Pipe Using Mode Conversion of Longitudinal Guided Wave

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper aims to develop a method to identify the damage location in circumference direction of a pipe using mode transformation of longitudinal guided wave. The corrosion-like damage in bimetal pipe is considered. Case study that damage detection for a bimetal pipe is used to show the validity and advantage of the proposed method. It can be found that the axially symmetric mode guided wave encounter the damage and the three modes were received in reflection. The damage location in circumferential directions could be identified by conversed modes measured at one position. The simulation shows a good performance.
