[0050] Specifically, phase velocity refers to the propagation speed of the phase front of the lamb wave, so the curve constructed with phase velocity can show the phase propagation speed of the wave at different frequencies; group velocity refers to the energy propagation speed of the lamb wave, so the dispersion curve constructed with group velocity can show the energy propagation speed of the wave at different frequencies; by observing the dispersion curve, the Lamb wave mode at different frequencies can be determined; the dispersion phenomenon can be identified through the bending and changes of the dispersion curve, which is of great significance in non-destructive testing and structural health testing.
