On the Reliability of a Solitary Wave Based Transducer to Determine the Characteristics of Some Materials

In the study presented in this article we investigated the feasibility and the reliability of a transducer design for the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of the stiffness of structural materials. The NDE method is based on the propagation of highly nonlinear solitary waves (HNSWs) along a one-dimens...
