In Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation (NDT&E), an ultrasonic method called Nonlinear Coda Wave Interferometry (NCWI) has recently been developed to detect cracks in heterogeneous materials such as concrete. The underlying principle of NCWI is that a pump wave is used to activate the crack breathing which interact with the source probe signal. The resulting signal is then measured at receiver probes. In this work, a static finite element model (FEM) is used to simulate the pump wave/crack interaction in order to quantify the average effect of the pump waves on a crack. By considering both crack opening and closure phases during the dynamic pump wave excitation, this static model aims to determine the pump stress amplitude for a given relative crack length variation due to the dynamic pump wave excitation at different amplitudes. Numerical results show, after reaching a certain stress amplitude, a linear relationship between the relative crack length variation and the equivalent static load when considering a partially closed crack at its tips. Then, numerical NCWI outputs, e.g., the relative velocity change θ and the decorrelation coefficient K d , have been calculated using a spectral element model (SEM). These results agree with previously published experimental NCWI results derived for a slightly damaged 2D glass plate.
