Leaky Lamb waves in an anisotropic plate. II: Nondestructive evaluation of matrix cracks in fiber-reinforced composites
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with the use of leaky Lamb waves for the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of damage in anisotropic materials such as fiber-reinforced composites. Two fundamental acoustic properties of the material, namely, the wave speed and attenuation have been measured. Stiffness is deduced from the wave speed. The damage mode selected for this study is matrix cracking. As expected, the in-plane stiffness decreases and the attenuation increases with an increase in the linear crack density.

Leaky Lamb Waves (llw) in Multiorientation Composite Laminates
Considerable efforts have been made in recent years to develop quantitative nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques for composite materials, which are being used increasingly in primary structures. The leaky Lamb wave phenomenon has shown considerable potential as an NDE method [1]. Most results reported in this area to date have been concerned with unidirectional laminates [2-4]. This is at...

Due to the widespread applications of fiber reinforced polymer composites in various industries, the machining of these materials to reach the desired shapes, close tolerances and surface finish quality is of great importance. But the composite materials are anisotropic and are mostly prepared in laminated form and, therefore, they have special chip formation behaviour. Among the effective para...

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a novel philosophy for an autonomous, built-in nondestructive evaluation of structural “health” on demand to reduce life-cycle costs, increase safety and reduce structural weight. This dissertation investigates ultrasonic guided waves, particularly Lamb waves, and their propagation properties as a method to perform Health Monitoring of viscoelastic composit...
متن کاملStudy of Wave Motion in an Anisotropic Fiber-Reinforced Thermoelastic Solid
The present investigation deals with the propagation of waves in the layer of an anisotropic fibre reinforced thermoelastic solid. Secular equations for symmetric and skew-symmetric modes of wave propagation in completely separate terms are derived. The amplitude of displacements and temperature distribution were also obtained. Finally, the numerical solution was carried out for Cobalt material...
