This paper presents a new method to separate multi-mode signal of Lamb wave through reconstruction of pure mode basis signals calculated based on phase and group velocity. Individual signal of each mode contained in multi-mode signal can be obtained and analyzed by mode separation. Simultaneously, the hidden damage scattering signal can be extracted after removing the undesired signal. Two simulations are conducted on aluminum plates as examples to demonstrate the procedure of mode separation in detail. The first one models Lamb wave propagating in an aluminum plate without damage to separate each mode step by step. Extraction of damage scattering signal through mode separation is presented with the other simulation conducted on a damaged aluminum plate. Also an experiment is designed to example the applicability of this method. The results of both simulations and experiment verify the validity and accuracy of this method. This mode separation method provides a potential baseline free approach for damage detection using Lamb wave.

A crashworthiness design of foam-filled local nanocrystallized thin-walled tubes (FLNTs) is proposed by using foam-filled structures and ultrasonic impact surface treatment. The crashworthiness and deformation modes of FLNTs are studied using an experiment and numerical analysis. A finite element numerical model of FLNTs is established, and the processing and test platform of FLNTs is set up to verify the numerical predication and analytical design. The results show that local nanocrystallization is an effective method to enhance crashworthiness for hexagonal FLNTs. The FLNTs with four circumferential continuous stripes of surface nanocrystallization exhibit a level of 47.12% higher specific energy absorption than the untreated tubes in numerical simulations for tubes with a 50% ratio of nanocrystallized area. Inspired by the strength mechanism, a novel nested foam-filled local surface nanocrystallization tube is further designed and studied in detail.

Rainbow trapping is of great significance for frequency-based wave splitting and broadband wave attenuation. By recognizing the deficiency of prevailing gradient rainbow reflection devices in terms of energy concentration and broadband vibration isolation, we design a new topological rainbow trapping device by introducing a topological protected interface mode (TPIM) into the prevailing gradient rainbow device. Therefore, a topological rainbow trapping beam composed of a homogenous beam rested on an alternate and gradient foundation is constructed. Using theoretical and numerical analysis, we perform a unit-cell band structure analysis. The dependence of bandgap region and group velocity on the reference foundation stiffness is investigated. With the help of the topological phase transition and Zak phase analysis, we successfully predict and demonstrate TPIM. A quantitative evaluation of the advancement of topological rainbow devices upon the prevailing gradient device in vibration amplification and broadband wave attenuation is also presented. We believe that the robust one-dimensional topological rainbow trapping beam will be useful in many applications, such as energy harvesting, wave splitting, and vibration control.
