Abstract In this paper, continuous wavelet transform has been applied to inclusion detection in cantilever beams. By means of FEM, a cantilever beam with an inclusion is subjected to an impact on its free end, and its stress wave propagation process is calculated. Here, two kinds of inclusions which are distinct in material behavior have been discussed. And we change the inclusion's sizes in the beam and set it in three different positions to simulate some complicated situations. For soft inclusion, the results show that the arrival times of incident and reflective wave are distinguishable by… More >
