In this study, a noncontact nondestructive testing (NDT) method is proposed to detect the fatigue crack and to identify the location of the damage. To achieve this goal, Lamb wave propagation of a plate-like structure is analyzed, which is induced by scanning laser source actuation system. The Lamb wave propagation is visualized and then damage is detected by wavenumber filtering method based on 3D FFT. Steel plates with fatigue cracks are investigated to verify the effectiveness and the robustness of the proposed NDT approach
