Abstract
In this chapter methods of Structural Health Monitoring using elastic wave propagation method are presented. Different techniques are presented that are used for elastic wave generation and sensing. In the case of elastic waves sensing presented methods are divided into contact and non contact (optical). Wide description of measuring methods that are based on laser vibrometry can be also find. This chapter also includes description of damage localisation algorithms. Also phenomenon of elastic wave propagation in the structural elements is widely described. In this chapter different types of elastic wave propagating in structural elements are presented however attention is focused on Lamb waves. Chapter includes lots of experimental results related to measurements and visualisation of elastic waves propagation as well as results of damage localisation.
