Resumo: The study of the interaction of elastic waves in solids immersed in a fluid has been recognized as a suitable method for fluid characterization. Guided waves in plate-like structures, are mul- timodal and dispersive. These characteristics provides more information in the measurement process. In addition, the theoretical analysis and physical interpretation of the experimental results become more involved. When the plate is in contact with a fluid, there is strong attenu- ation due to Leaky waves and viscous losses in the fluid. This characteristic can be explored for the fluid characterization, due to the high sensitivity associated to the interaction between the wave and fluid. From this feature a study about the quasi-Scholte mode was done, which is a kind of interface wave and its wave energy in the fluid is confined in the region close to the surface of the plate. The analysis of this propagating mode is an attractive alternative to determine the bulk longitudinal velocity and attenuation in the liquid, which provide valuable information about the liquid properties. In this work, guided waves (Lamb and quasi-Scholte modes) are theoretically described by a system of equations obtained by modeling a homo- genous solid plate in contact with a viscous fluid, which is modeled using the Navier-Stokes equation. The dispersion and attenuation curves of Lamb waves and quasi Scholte mode are numerically calculated from the characteristic equations. Experimental measurements were conducted in order to obtain the phase velocity and attenuation for the Lamb waves and quasi Scholte mode showing the existence of low attenuation frequencies bands. These measurements were obtained by using longitudinal wide band transducers coupled to acrylic wedges, excited with senoidal pulses and then time-frequency analysed. In order to evaluate the potential use of this result in NDT applications ultrasonic images were also ...
