The effects of localized nonlinearities on the reciprocity principle in the context of ultrasounds and nonlinear elasticity are discussed in this paper. Experiments will be presented to prove that a localized crack in a concrete beam causes a break of reciprocity in the ultrasonic response to a mechanical excitation.

Abstract

The effects of localized nonlinearities on the reciprocity principle in the context of ultrasounds and nonlinear elasticity are discussed in this paper. Experiments will be presented to prove that a localized crack in a concrete beam causes a break of reciprocity in the ultrasonic response to a mechanical excitation. The link between non-reciprocity and asymmetry in the nonlinear response will be demonstrated and discussed as a tool for NonDestructive Evaluation.
