Structural optimization of photoacoustic transducer with PDMS/CSNPs nanocomposite for fatigue crack detection using laser-induced nonlinear surface waves

Laser ultrasonics is a promising non-contact inspection technique but faces challenges of low signal-to-noise and low amplitude under non-destructive thermoelastic regime. In this paper, a laser ultrasonic surface acoustic wave (SAW) modulation method and photoacoustic transducer (PAT) are proposed...
