"EMATs for Science and Industry" comprises the physical principles of electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs) and their applications to scientific and industrial ultrasonic measurements on materials. The text is arranged in four parts. Part one is intended to be a self-contained description of the basic elements of coupling mechanisms along with practical designing of EMATs for various purposes. There are several implementations to compensate for the low transfer efficiency of the EMATs. Useful tips to make an EMAT are also presented. Part two describes the principle of electromagnetic acoustic resonance (EMAR), which makes the most of the contactless nature of EMATs and is the most successful amplification mechanism for precise velocity and attenuation measurements. Part three applies EMAR to studying the physical acoustics. New measurements emerged on three major subjects; in situ monitoring of dislocation behaviour, determination of anisotropic elastic constants and acoustic nonlinearity evolution. Part four deals with a variety of individual topics encountered in industrial applications, for which the EMATs are believed to the best solutions.

The text is arranged in four parts: -PART I is intended to be a self-contained description of the basic elements of coupling mechanism along with practical designing of EMATs for various purposes. There are several implementations to compensate for the low transfer efficiency of the EMATs. Useful tips to make an EMAT are also presented. -PART II describes the principle of electromagnetic acoustic resonance (EMAR), which makes the most of contactless nature of EMATs and is the most successful amplification mechanism for precise velocity and attenuation measurements. -PART III applies EMAR to studying the physical acoustics.

This second edition provides comprehensive information on electromagnetic acoustic transducers (EMATs), from the theory and physical principles of EMATs to the construction of systems and their applications to scientific and industrial ultrasonic measurements on materials. The original version has been complemented with selected ideas on ultrasonic measurement that have emerged since the first edition was released. The book is divided into four parts:PART I offers a self-contained description of the basic elements of coupling mechanisms along with the practical designing of EMATs for various purposes. Several implementations to compensate for EMATs’ low transfer efficiency are provided, along with useful tips on how to make an EMAT.PART II describes the principle of electromagnetic acoustic resonance (EMAR), which makes the most of EMATs’ contactless nature and is the most successful amplification mechanism for precise measurements of velocity and attenuation.PART III applies EMAR to studying physical acoustics. New measurements have emerged with regard to four major subjects: in situ monitoring of dislocation behavior, determination of anisotropic elastic constants, pointwise elasticity mapping (RUM), and acoustic nonlinearity evolution.PART IV deals with a variety of individual issues encountered in industrial applications, for which the EMATs are believed to be the best solutions. This is proven by a number of field applications.
