Abstract

Abstract

Ultrasonic guided waves have the ability of long-distance nondestructive testing for defects in waveguide structures, and have been one of the hotspots in the field of nondestructive testing for many years. Finite element method (FEM) has the ability to calculate various complex dynamics problems and has become an important tool in the research of ultrasonic guided wave testing technique. Considering the hot issues in the research, a brief review of the relevant FEM is proposed. The development of FEM and its application in the excitation and reception of guided waves under multi-physical coupled field mechanism, the propagation characteristics of guided waves in linear elasticity and viscoelastic structures and nonlinear ultrasonic guided waves are introduced. Finally, the research emphasis and development direction of the relevant FEM in the future is prospected based on the research trend of ultrasonic guided wave testing technique.
