This paper introduces the wave interferences effects of staggering multiple rows of Periodically Permanent Magnets (PPM) in an Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (EMAT) configuration to achieve selective beam forming effects such as steering, focusing and de-focusing of guided ultrasonic waves. The shear horizontal (SH) guided ultrasonic wave in a metal plate was used to demonstrate these effects using numerical Finite Element Model (FEM) that were validated using experiments.
