Numerical Voids Detection in Bonded Metal/Composite Assemblies Using Acousto-Ultrasonic Method

This research focuses on the application of an acousto-ultrasonics (AU) technique, a combination ultrasonic characterization and acoustic emission, to nondestructively detect defects such as voids in bonded metal/composite assemblies. Computational methods are established examine effects collected signal. The position receiver sensor with respect defect is also investigated. Given specific structure type actuation signal, location probability detection can be enhanced by model developed this work. optimal provided located around epicenter defect. Moreover, work highlights importance choice reception sensor.
