Abstract :
The Lamb wave modes propagating along a hollow cylinder are analyzed by means of two-dimensional (2-D) FFT. The 2-D FFT system consists of a laser probe and a digital oscilloscope. The former implements the spatial and the latter implements the temporal sampling of the waveform. With the aid of this system, the Lamb wave modes propagating along an aluminum alloy tube are analyzed. Comparison between the experiments and calculations shows that the 2-D FFT can be effectively used to analyze quantitatively Lamb wave modes in hollow cylinders.
