Abstract
Long-range ultrasonic guided waves are widely used for the detection of defect founded in the long distance pipeline. Numerical simulation of guided wave propagation is considered for an experimental pipe with various forms of defects. The pipe is subjected to the propagation of the torsional guided wave . Numerical models are constructed for a sample pipe without defect and two sample pipes with two different types of defects: a notch and a notch with a hole. The desired T(0, 1) guided wave is simulated by a special excitation pressure function applied to one end of the pipe, which spreads via shearing motion parallel to the circumferential direction. Finite element software ANSYS is used to build 3D solid and finite element models of the sample pipes and perform full transient analysis. The simulation results allow obtaining information on the amplitude and the transit time of the impulse reflected from the defect and from the end of the pipe. The results also include the investigation of influence of the length and depth of the notch on the stress-strain state of the pipe.
