The phenomenon of the guided waves propagation can be applied in order to detect different types of damages in real structures. The existence of flaws, like cracks, notches, or holes, causes the change of the wave propagation in the analysed structure in comparison with the intact one. However, in the vicinity of the free edges the dynamic response is very complicated due to the reflections and interference of the incident waves. Thus, the process of the damage detection and localization can be very difficult. Therefore, the current work is devoted to the experimental and numerical analysis of the guided waves propagation in the narrow, thin plates (beams). The investigated structure is made of aluminum alloy. Mainly, the influence of the notch on the waves’ propagation is studied. The waves are generated and picked up by the piezoelectric transducers. In order to carry out the numerical simulations the finite element method is applied. Moreover, the piezoelectric activators and sensors are modelled with the use of the coupled field finite solid elements and the plate with the use of the structural solid elements. Generally, three types of the waves are observed, namely the horizontal and shear wave, which move along the symmetry axis of the plate and the horizontal wave, which propagates in the perpendicular direction. The existence of the notch generally causes that the voltage amplitude of the received signal is reduced in comparison with the results obtained for the intact structure. Qualitatively, the similar effect is observed in the case of the experimental findings.
