The generation and reflection of guided elastic waves in hollow cylinders with corrosion defects have been investigated numerically for the purpose of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of tubular structures. A new guided wave transducer model, time-delay periodic, ring arrays (TDPRAs), has been used to generate the axisymmetric guided wave modes in hollow cylinders, and this is simulated by a finite element calculation. Unidirectional guided wave emission can be achieved by arranging a TDPRA's parameters according to the principle of constructive and destructive interference. The guided wave reflections by axisymetric and nonaxisymmetric corrosion defects are analyzed using a 2-D and a 3-D FE simulation, respectively. The reflection features as well as mode conversion under the L (0, 1) and L (0,2) mode incidences are discussed it? association with the corrosion depth, the axial and circumferential extents in hollow cylinders.
