FE-PML Modeling of Guided Elastic Waves and its Applications to Ultrasonic NDE

This thesis investigates the use of a combined finite element and perfectly matched layer approach in modeling guided elastic wave motion in infinite plates and cylinders and its potential applications to non-destructive evaluation. Underlying principles of the per-fectly-matched, absorbing layer ar...
