Popis: The effects of localized nonlinearities on the reciprocity principle in the context of ultrasounds and nonlinear elasticity are discussed in this paper. Experiments will be presented to prove that a localized crack in a concrete beam causes a break of reciprocity in the ultrasonic response to a mechanical excitation. The link between non-reciprocity and asymmetry in the nonlinear response will be demonstrated and discussed as a tool for NonDestructive Evaluation.
