An iterative method to evaluate one-dimensional pulsed nonlinear elastic wavefields and mixing of elastic waves in solids

Over the last 15 years, literature on nondestructive testing has shown that the generation of higher harmonics and nonlinear mixing of waves could be used to obtain the nonlinearity parameters of an elastic medium and thereby gather information about its state, e.g., aging and fatigue. To design ultrasound measurement setups based on these...
