摘要
In this paper the Semi-Analytical Finite Element (SAFE) method for modeling guided wave propagation is extended to account for linear viscoelastic material damping. Linear viscoelasticity is introduced by allowing for complex stiffness constitutive matrices for the material. Dispersive characteristics of viscoelastic waveguides, such as phase velocity, attenuation, energy velocity and cross-sectional wavestructures are extracted. Knowledge of the above-mentioned dispersive properties is important in any structural health monitoring attempt that uses ultrasonic guided waves for long range inspection. The proposed damped formulation is applied to several waveguides with different mechanical and geometric properties. In particular, a viscoelastic isotropic plate, a railroad track and a pipe are studied.
