Abstract
This work deals with the sensitivity to the plate roughness of Lamb waves. An experimental study is performed involving an air-coupling transducer system. Signal processing allows us to extract the Lamb waves characteristics: phase velocity and attenuation. Plate surface topographies are obtained by means of an optical surface profiler. The acoustic characteristics and the surface topographies are finally linked.
