Transient stress waves interaction with planar flaws
The NBS Center for Building Technology in the United States is developing sonar impact-echo techniques for non-destructive testing, notably to trace flaws in concrete, in which flaws reflect the sound waves generated by an impact on the surface. This paper deals with a fundamental aspect of the concept, namely the propagation of the waves within the mass and their interaction with the flaws. The results have validated the use of finite element analysis for studying transient wave propagation in elastic solids.
