WavePredictor™ allows you to
predict waveforms theoretically in plate-like
structures. Input the
materials
properties, the plate geometry and source characteristics, the sensor
locations
and sensor diameter, and the plate modes are calculated and displayed.
See the effects of reflections, source orientation, and geometric
changes on the waveforms captured.
 This figure shows the
comparison between
the experimental waverform captured from a lead break performed
in-plane (blue trace) versus the theoretically predicted waveform for
an in-plane source (red trace).
 This figure is for
a lead break performed
on the surface of a plate, or out-of-plane source. The Hertzian contact
force of the lead on the surface of the plate creates a small
extentional mode, with the large flexural mode trailing.
