A review on ultrasonic guided wave technology

Abstract This paper will provide some understanding on the Guided Wave Technology (GWT). Prior to the review of GWT, the authors will be providing some introduction on brief history of guided wave, basic physics on ultrasonic including on modes of wave propagation, operation principle of piezoelectric, Magnetostrictive, Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer, general theory of elasticity, Short-Time Fourier Transform and Wigner-Ville distribution to enable new readers to follow the entire flow. Some selected research in the area of Structural Health Monitoring, Nondestructive Testing and flow properties determination will be summarised in detail.
