    Abstract:
    Leaky Lamb waves have the potential to be used to perform non-destructive testing on a set of several parallel and immersed plates. Short-time Fourier transform and two-dimensional Fourier transform have both been successfully used to measure the propagation properties: phase and group velocity, and leaky attenuation. Experimental measurements were validated by comparison between theory, experimentation and finite-element simulations (using comsol multiphysics® software) in the case of one immersed plate in water. These signal processing techniques proved to be efficient in the case of multi-modal propagation. They were applied to two immersed plates to identify the leaky Lamb mode generated in the second plate. Dispersion curves of the system composed by two immersed and parallel plates are computed. When plates have the same thickness, leaky Lamb modes propagate from the first to the second plate without any mode change, with the apparent attenuation being weaker in the second plate. Considering that the second plate is continuously supplied in energy by the first one, an energy-based model is proposed herein to estimate the apparent attenuation in the second plate. Despite our extremely simplifying assumption, this model proved to be in good agreement with both finite-element modelling and experimentation.
