Investigation of the delamination type defects parameters in multilayered GLARE 3 - 3 / 2 composite material using air – coupled ultrasonics technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
Air – coupled ultrasonic investigation possess a great potential for investigation of aerospace composite materials, because it avoids disadvantages caused by immersion or contact techniques. In the work the test sample of the GLARE3-3/2 composite material with artificial delamination type defect was investigated. Numerical and experimental investigations using focussed air – coupled ultrasonic transducers were carried out in a through transmission mode. Numerical investigation was carried out using the Wave 2000 software based on a finite differences method. The interaction of ultrasonic wave with a delamination type defect was investigated. Dimensions of the delamination type defects were measured experimentally.

Application of air – coupled ultrasonic technique for sizing of delamination type defect in multilayered materials
Ultrasonic testing using couplants is most popular technique for non destructive testing of solid materials. In the most non – destructive evaluation tasks such as investigation of materials whose properties may be changed by liquid contact this technique can not be used. Use of contact technique can be restricted for complex geometry structures. Also, liquid couplants cannot be used when mater...

The modern aircrafts are built using various composite materials such as carbon/glass fibre reinforced plastics, GLARE and honeycombs. Manufacturing technologies of composite materials are complicated and include many stages. Small deviations from the technology parameters may cause relatively small defects, but influence of these defects on a total strength of a construction may be essential. ...
