Evaluation of the Structural Integrity of Granular Composites by Ultrasonic Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of the mechanical strength of composite materials which are consolidated by cementaceous bonds has been monitored by observation of the ultrasonic properties over the evolution of bond growth. The granular nature and weak bonding of these materials produce high attenuation of the ultrasonic signal and observation is difficult, particularly in larger structures. In order to obtain ultrasonic parameters with high resolution and to overcome the effects of grain scattering, a system based on a minicomputer and array processor has been implemented which provides time and frequency-domain processing and aperture synthesis. This ultrasonic data provides a reliable measure of the structural integrity of these materials.

Honeycomb composites are increasingly finding utility in a variety of environments and applications, such as aircraft structural components, flight control components, radomes, etc. Inservice and environmental stresses can produce unwanted flaws that adversely affect the structural integrity and functionality of these composites. These flaws may be in the forms of disbonds, delaminations, impac...
متن کاملEcho Detection Techniques for Ultrasonic Imaging of Damage in Composite Laminates
Advanced composites, particularly high modulus laminates, are often susceptible to transverse impact loading. Major damage introduced due to low velocity impact include matrix cracking, fiber break and delaminations. Such flaws tend to reduce residual strength of the material and may cause catastrophic failure when the material is subjected to higher operating loads [1,2]. Unfortunately, these ...
