In this paper we investigate the existence of SH-waves in fiber-reinforced layer placed over a heterogeneous elastic half-space. The heterogeneity of the elastic half-space is caused by the exponential variations of density and rigidity. As a special case when both the layers are homogeneous, our derived equation is in agreement with the general equation of Love wave. Numerically, it is observed that the velocity of SH-waves decreases with the increase of heterogeneity and reinforced parameters. The dimensionless phase velocity of SH-waves increases with the decreases of dimensionless wave number and shown through figures.

It is very important to evaluate the surface or subsurface microstructure because of their influences on mechanical properties of materials. Surface SH-wave which is horizontally polarized shear wave traveling along near surface and subsurface layer is an attractive technique for material evaluation. The destructive method is widely used for the estimation of material degradation but it has a great difficulty in preparing specimens from in-service industrial facilities. In this study, nondestructive evaluation for degraded structural materials used at high temperature though surface SH-wave method is discussed. 2.25Cr-1Mo steel specimens which were prepared by the isothermal aging heat treatment at $650^{\circ}$ were evaluated though ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation techniques investigating the change of sound velocity, attenuation coefficient and amplitude spectra. In addition, it has verified experimentally the frequency-dependence of attenuation coefficient though wavelet analysis method.

The existence of SH-wave in a piezomagnetic layer overlying an initially stressed orthotropic half-space is investigated. The coupled of differential equations are solved for piezomagnetic layer overlying an orthotropic elastic half-space. The general dispersion equation has been derived for both magnetically open circuit and magnetically closed circuits under the four types of boundary conditions. In the absence of the piezomagnetic properties, initial stress and orthotropic properties of the medium, the dispersion equations reduce to classical Love equation. The SH-wave velocity has been calculated numerically for both magnetically open circuit and closed circuits. The effect of initial stress and magnetic permeability are illustrated by graphs in both the cases. The velocity of SH-wave decreases with the increment of wave number.

Ultrasonic technique which is one of the most common nondestructive evaluation techniques has been applied to evaluate the integrity of structures by analyzing the characteristic of scattering sign al from internal defects. Therefore, a numerical analysis of ultrasonic scattering field due to defect profiles is absolutely needed for the accurate, quantitative estimation of internal defects. In this paper, the SH-wave scattering by multi-cavity defects and inclusion using Elastodynamic Boundary Element Method is studied. The effects of shape and distance of defects on transmitted and reflected fields are considered. The interaction of multi-cavity defects in SH-wave scattering is also investigated. Numerical calculations by the BEM have been carried out to predict near field solution of scattered fields of ultrasonic SH-wave. The presented results can be used to improve the detection sensitivity and pursue quantitative nondestructive evaluation for inverse problem.

In this paper, study on the mode characteristics analysis of the SH-EMAT (shear horizontal, electromagnetic acoustic transducer) waves for evaluating the thickness reduction in plates such as corrosion and friction is presented. Noncontact methods for ultrasonic wave generation and detection have been a great concern and highly demanded due to their capability of wave generation and reception on surface of high temperature or on rough surface. Mode identification of the SH-EMAT wave is carried out in an aluminum plate with thinning defects using time frequency analysis method such as wavelet transform, compared with theoretically calculated group velocity dispersion curve. The changes of various wave features such as the amplitude and the time-of-flight have been observed and the correlations with the thickness reduction have been investigated. Firstly, experiments have been conducted to confirm that it is possible to selectively generate and receive specific desired SH modes. These modes have then been analyzed to select the parameters that are sensitive to the thickness change. The results show that the mode cutoff and the time-of-flight changes are feasible as key parameters to evaluate the thickness reduction.

In this paper, we have investigated shear horizontal wave propagation in a layered structure, consisting of granular macromorphic rock (Dionysos Marble) substrate underlying a viscoelastic layer of finite thickness. SH waves characteristics are affected by the material properties of both substrate and the coating. The effects of microstructural parameter "characteristic length" of the substrate, along with heterogeneity, internal friction and thickness of viscoelastic layer are studied on the dispersion curves. Dispersion equation for SH wave is derived. Real and damping phase velocities of SH waves are studied against dimensionless wave number, for different combinations of various parameters involved in the problem.

Pipe wall thinning is one of severe problems on structural safety in nuclear power plants. A guided wave can be a proper tool for the fast evaluation or monitoring. As for gradual wall thinnings, however, low sensitivity caused by the low reflection coefficient limits the use of the guided wave. In this work, instead of the guided wave reflection at the wall thinning, the variation of dispersion characteristics is concerned. SH waves were employed due to several advantages and the magnetostrictive patch transducers were used for the excitation and sensing of the SH waves. The proposed method were verified with some experiments and showed the feasibility as an effective tool for the inspection of gradual wall thinning.

Ultrasonic method using SH(shear horizontal) wave has been developed to determine the surface damage in fatigued material. Fatigue damages based on propagation energy were analyzed by multi-regression analysis in interrupted fatigue test specimen including CrMoV and 12Cr alloy steel. From the test results, as the fatigue damage increased the propagation time of the launched waves increased and amplitude of wavelet decreased. Also, analysis for the waveform modulation showed a reliable estimation, with confidence limit of 97% for 12Cr steel and 95% for CrMoV steel, respectively. Therefore, It is thought that SH ultrasonic wave technique can be applied to determine fatigue damage of in-service component nondestructively.

이 연구는 동아시아 지역의 지각과 상부맨틀의 3차원 SH파 속도구조 및 지진파 속도 방사 이방성을 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. SH파 속도모델은 한국과 일본, 중국에 설치되어 있는 광대역 지진관측소에 기록된 지진자료로부터 러브파 군속도 분산 자료를 획득한 후 이를 역산하여 구하였다. 군속도 분산곡선은 총 3,369개의 파선경로에 대하여 다중필터기법을 사용하여, 접선 성분에 기록된 주기 3 ~ 150 초 범위의 러브파 군속도를 획득하였다. 획득한 군속도자료를 역산하여 깊이 100 km까지의 SH파 속도구조를 계산하였다. 10 ~ 40 km 깊이에서 동해지역은 일본지역보다 SH파 속도가 빠르게 나타난다. 고속도 이상이 나타나는 깊이로 판단할 때, 모호면의 깊이는 동해의 경우 10 ~ 20 km 사이, 한반도의 경우에는 35 km 부근에서 모호면이 존재한다고 생각된다. 50 km 깊이에서 동해지역은 강한 저속도 이상이 관측이 되고, 저속도 이상이 나타나는 깊이로 판단할 때, 50 km 부근에 암석권과 연약권의 경계가 존재한다고 생각된다. 연구지역 아래 50 ~ 100 km 깊이에서는 저속도 이상이 광범위하게 관측된다. 지진파 속도 이방성은 35 km 깊이 까지는 평균적으로 SH파의 속도가 빠른 양의 이방성을 보이며, 그보다 더 깊은 깊이에서는 평균적으로 SV파의 속도가 빠른 음의 이방성이 관측된다.

유도초음파 검사는 구조물의 장거리 탐상 적용 가능성으로 인해 최근 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 이러한 유도초음파를 이용한 비파괴검사에 있어서 탐상 성능은 검사시 이용하는 유도초음파 모드에 많은 영향을 받기 때문에 탐상 목적에 맞는 적절한 모드를 선택하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 판형 구조물 검사의 경우, 현재까지 램파가 주로 이용되어 왔고 SH파의 응용은 상대적으로 적었다. SH파의 장점에도 불구하고 응용 빈도가 적은 것은 무엇보다도 성능이 검증되면서 사용이 용이한 트랜스듀서가 부족한 데 주 원인이 있다. 본 연구에서는 자기변형 현상을 이용한 새로운 소형 SH파 유도초음파 트랜스듀서 모듈을 제안하고자 한다. 기존의 SH파용 자기변형 트랜스듀서가 패치를 구조물에 접착제로 부착해서 사용해야하는 점으로 인해 많은 불편을 초래한 데 비해, 제안한 트랜스듀서는 모듈로 제작되어 전단커플런트와 함께 이용할 수 있으므로 현장에서 신속하고 편리하게 적용이 가능하다. 개발된 트랜스듀서 모듈의 SH파 변환 기전과 구조를 설명하였으며, 이를 이용한 유도초음파 전파 시험을 통해 제안한 트랜스듀서 모듈의 성능 및 응용가능성을 확인하였다.
