摘要
Non-contact estimation of the thickness and elastic properties of metallic foils was attempted by quantitative analysis of velocity dispersion of laser-generated Lamb waves. Lamb waves were generated in stainless steel (AISI304) foils with a thickness of less than 40 mu m by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. Both the zeroth order symmetric S-0 and anti-symmetric A(0) waves were monitored using a heterodyne-type laser interferometer. Dispersion of group velocity of the A(0) mode was obtained by the wavelet transformation, and was found to agree well with the numerical solution of the Rayleigh-Lamb equation. A modified method to estimate both the thickness and acoustic (or elastic) properties from the sheet wave velocity and the group Velocity dispersion of the A(0) mode was proposed. The modified method was found to provide a correct estimate for stainless steel foils thinner than 30 mu m. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
