To date, high temperature EMATs have been developed only for thickness measurements and they are not suitable for GWT. A pair of water-cooled EMATs capable of exciting and receiving Shear Horizontal (SH0) waves for GWT with optimal high temperature properties (up to 500 \u00b0C) has been developed. Thermal and Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations of the EMAT design have been performed and experimentally validated. The optimal thermal EMAT design, material selection and operating conditions were calculated. The EMAT was successfully tested regarding its thermal and GWT performance from ambient temperature to 500 \u00b0C.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s16040582","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,25]],"date-time":"2016-04-25T09:55:00Z","timestamp":1461578100000},"page":"582","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["High Temperature Shear Horizontal Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer for Guided Wave Inspection"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Maria","family":"Kogia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Brunel Innovation Centre (BIC), Brunel University, Cambridge CB21 6AL, UK"}]},{"given":"Tat-Hean","family":"Gan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brunel Innovation Centre (BIC), Brunel University, Cambridge CB21 6AL, UK"},{"name":"TWI Ltd., Granta Park, Great Abington, Cambridge CB21 6AL, UK"}]},{"given":"Wamadeva","family":"Balachandran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brunel Innovation Centre (BIC), Brunel University, Cambridge CB21 6AL, UK"}]},{"given":"Makis","family":"Livadas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brunel Innovation Centre (BIC), Brunel University, Cambridge CB21 6AL, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5314-2622","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vassilios","family":"Kappatos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brunel Innovation Centre (BIC), Brunel University, Cambridge CB21 6AL, UK"}]},{"given":"Istvan","family":"Szabo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brunel Innovation Centre (BIC), Brunel University, Cambridge CB21 6AL, UK"}]},{"given":"Abbas","family":"Mohimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brunel Innovation Centre (BIC), Brunel University, Cambridge CB21 6AL, UK"},{"name":"TWI Ltd., Granta Park, Great Abington, Cambridge CB21 6AL, UK"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Round","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brunel Innovation Centre (BIC), Brunel University, Cambridge CB21 6AL, UK"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2474","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rser.2009.03.014","article-title":"Economic analysis of power generation from parabolic trough solar thermal plants for the Mediterranean region\u2014A case study for the island of Cyprus","volume":"13","author":"Poullikkas","year":"2009","journal-title":"Renew.
