    Ee od eS ual Dispersion Curves in Guided Wave Testing Recently, I suggested that some ‘of the new NDT techniques require fa knowledge of basies that are ‘more sophisticated than the classic NDT methods. Here is an example of one of those methods. As 1 problems we solve get tougher, the solutions to those problems seem to get more involved as wel Aah de Migp= Frank A. Iddings Tutorial Projects Editor INTRODUCTION at is a guided wave dispersion and its corresponding dispersion curve? Guided waves are ultra- sonic waves that propagate dfierently than the more commonly used longitudinal and shear waves. They are sitll to rayleigh and lamb waves in that feat {Ronurherorintinmatenae Treteroe ity isnot only dependent on the material (like longitudinal, shear and surface waves) but also the thickness ofthe materi al and frequency.
