Applied Mathematical Modelling, 77, 439-455. https://doi.org/10.1016/J.APM.2019.07.0510307-904X1872-8480http://hdl.handle.net/10347/32367The aim of this work is to provide a non-destructive testing technique to obtain the physical properties of a given material, based on a series of images, obtained through a non-invasive procedure, that capture the experimental propagation of a Rayleigh waves packet travelling through it, and allowing us to obtain the phase velocity of the waves packet. The proposed procedure involves a minimization technique that requires the numerical simulation of the travelling waves to obtain the optimal material parameters. Numerical results are compared with experimental data to validate the procedure.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Material propertiesNon-destructive testingRayleigh wavesFinite element methodYoung modulusjournal article10.1016/j.apm.2019.07.051open access
