where E is the Young’s modulus, ν is the Poisson’s ratio and ρ is the<br />
density of the material. A graphical representation of the particle motion for the<br />
longitudinal and transverse mode is shown in Fig.1.13. The interactions of these<br />
two basic modes with the boundaries generate reflections, refractions and mode<br />
conversions [33, 34]. The superpositions of all these waves cause the formation<br />
of guided wave modes in the plate, which are infinite. The interest in the present<br />
work is focused on stringerized plates. Thus, guided waves in plates are now<br />
analyzed: these waves are also known as Lamb waves.
