Abstract

By introducing the double orthogonal polynomial method from the Cartesian coordinate system into the cylindrical coordinate system, this paper investigates the guided wave propagation in cylindrical structures with sector cross-sections. Comparison with available reference results, the validity of the presented method is verified. The corresponding phase velocity dispersion curves, displacement distributions, stress curves and the Poynting vectors are illustrated. The influences of the radius-to-thickness ratio and angular measure on the characteristics of the guided wave are discussed, which gives significant guidance on ultrasonic guided wave nondestructive testing for cylindrical structures with sector cross-sections.
