2000s, guided wave methods were being applied to structural health monitoring and long-range inspection of engineering structures, particularly pipelines in the oil, gas, and chemical industries.

How it works (pipeline inspections)

Unlike conventional ultrasonics, there are an infinite number of guided wave modes that exist for a pipe geometry, and they can be generally grouped into three families, namely the torsional, longitudinal and flexural modes. The acoustic properties
