The antecedent work on Lamb waves is not hard to identify. It was Lord Rayleigh in 1889 who first explained wave propagation along a guided surface [1], and the waves are known as Rayleigh waves today. Following

In another experimental setup utilizing the nonlinear features of Lamb waves, even smaller cracks with a length of just 1.35 μm were successfully identified [39]. Figure 7. A simple demonstration of the UT NDT method principle in the pitch–catch mode. Ihn and Chang [40,41] developed and...
