Abstract | Lamb waves, a configuration of guided waves are often applied to the inspection of plate like structures. Their complex, multi-modal nature makes them well suited to the inspection of different defects. Control over their propagation direction allows the engineer to increase inspection distance and prospectively locate the defect. Schemes already exist, but they require knowledge of material and its dispersion curves. If the material composition is not known, or external factors are effecting its speed of sound then these schemes may not be appropriate. The recursive feedback algorithm can be used to enhance guided waves in a single direction without a-priori knowledge. In recursive feedback, a guided wave is generated using the first element of an array transducer. Over several subsequent iterations, this guided wave is reinforced by re-transmitting recorded out of plane displacements. In this work, recursive feedback has been applied to two inspection problems; a contaminated kissing bond and a plate with a defect. With the kissing bond, it is shown that the the contamination can be identified as the A0 mode of generated waves are absorbed. In the defective plate, the defect direction is identified by a 10 dB increase in reflected energy when the guided waves are enhanced in one direction. © 2016, IEEE.
