Nonlinear acoustic methods of crack diagnostics

This paper is a brief overeview of experimental studies of nonlinear acoustic phenomena due to the presence of cracks in solids. The possibilities for using these phenomena in crack diagnostics are discussed. To explain the observed effects, we present the physical models of a single crack and a fractured medium.
