The Effect of the Elbow Pipe to the Guided Waves

In this study, the most part is acquainted with the effect of elbow pipe to the guided wave. Elbow pipes were most seen feature in work environment. It was difficult for inspection that the anti-symmetric of signal increased when it passed the elbow pipe by happening mode conversion. The study content includes the using modal solution of the finite element method to solve the dispersion curve of four different bend radius of elbow pipe, they were : 1.0 m, 0.6 m, 0.4 m and 0.2 m. Therefore, by using simulation of wave propagation and experiment to verify dispersion curve of bend pipe were accuracy. This study reveals that, the dispersion curve of elbow pipe is similar to that of straight pipe, and T(0,1) mode in the elbow pipe is most similar with it in straight pipe. Thus, the dispersion curve in elbow pipe and straight pipe were similar, but the effect of geometry of elbow pipe will make the symmetrical incident signal time delay and wave front will distortion, and then it will cause mode conversion.
According to the experiment of this study, although the signal of feature behind the elbow pipe caused by mode conversion will make anti-symmetry of reflection signal increase, it still won¡¦t make shift between reflection signal location and real feature location. It is very difficult and complex for inspecting the particular geometry pipe. If we can use the modal analysis of finite element method to solve the dispersion curve of particular geometry pipe, the inspection can be improve.
