      in Plastic and Composite Materials.

AB  - Contemporary technologies are employing composite plate materials developed by 
      using various innovative materials (nanostructures, mica structures, etc.). 
      Application of higher-order modes could allow better detection and 
      characterization of defects characteristic of planar plastic and composite 
      structures, mainly due to shorter wavelength. However, excitation of higher-order 
      modes meets many problems, especially in the case of the air-coupled technique, 
      and is not sufficiently investigated. This is relevant in the cases of paper, 
      high-density polyethylene (HDPE), membranes, GFRP, GLARE, CFRP and other 
      composite structures. The objective of the paper was investigation of the 
      excitation and reception of higher-order guided Lamb wave modes in plastic and 
      composite plates. Therefore, it is appropriate to develop new non-contact 
      ultrasonic measurement methods based on the excitation and reception of guided 
      waves for the study of such objects. The obtained results clearly demonstrate the 
      possibility to excite and receive efficiently different higher-order guided Lamb 
      wave modes with very different phase velocities. The presented comparison of the 
      experimental results with the simulation results showed a good agreement. The 
      combination of air-coupled excitation and non-contact reception enables a 
      non-destructive evaluation and characterization of moving plastic objects and 
      composite structures.
