In the ultrasonic Lamb wave nondestructive testing and evaluation, the measured Lamb wave signals are often mixed with noises which affect their accuracy of measurement. In the present study, a fractional differential method is proposed to remove the noise for the Lamb wave signal. Firstly, the fractional differential of the amplitude spectrum of the received noisy signal at different orders is obtained with the fractional differential theory. Then, the characteristic parameters of the amplitude spectrum are extracted with the developed parameter estimation model. The Gaussian peak mode is used as a model to assign the amplitude spectrum of the original signal correctly. Finally, the waveform of the Lamb wave is restored by combining the amplitude and phase spectrums. Simulated and experimental data are used to evaluate the performance of the developed method. Results show that the developed method has effective noise removing performance for Lamb wave signals.
