This study concerns the damages detection and diagnosis for immersed structure. The structures are metallic plates. The proposed method focuses on the analysis of ultrasonic acoustic measurements obtained by submarine echography. It combines signal processing tools and Gaussian neural networks for classification purpose. Methods with and without reference models are proposed. The usual detection technics with contact are not applicable for the considered systems like stream turbines. This research consists to use a single and a single transducer under different incidence angles opposed to others technics using numerous sensors and their accurate location. The present research use Lamb wave according to their sensibility to the structural da...
