“…Therefore, the presence of stiffeners, holes, notches, and other inhomogeneities might reduce the diagnostic potential of GW SHM methods. In [ 17 ], the authors investigated physical phenomena related to resonances, GW scattering, and conversion at a rectangular stiffener. A significant influence of omega stringer elements on the surface of an isotropic plate on GW propagation was shown in [ 7 ].…”
