Abstract
This study is focused on exploring the dispersion behaviors of anti symmetric flexural (ASF) modes propagating along a bilinear wedge (BW). A BW is wedge whose cross section has two apex angles, as opposed to a linear wedge (LW) whose cross section has a single apex angle. In the literature, many studies regarding the dispersion behaviors of ASF modes have been reported for LWs, but not for BWs. In this study, a laser ultrasonic technique is used to investigate the dispersion behavior of BW-ASF modes. It is determined that a BW-ASF mode arises as a result of mode coupling between two LW-ASF modes of the same order corresponding to the two apex angles of the BW.
