In this paper, a configuration for finding delamination in carbon-based plate like structureis presented and reviewed. Using induced guided Lamb Wave in order to identify damages in a carbon plate by analyzing key distinct features and... more
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has become, in recent years, one of the most important area of investigation, not only in the Aeronautical and Aerospace environments, but in a wide area of engineering fields, such as the Civil one.... more
Low velocity impact induces barely visible damage in the form of matrix cracking or delamination that can grow under hydro-thermo-mechanical loading and possibly lead to catastrophic failure if not detected at an early stage. A network of... more
We experimentally investigate a diagnostic technique for identifying a weak bond in composites using highly nonlinear solitary waves. We set up a one-dimensional chain of granular crystals, consisting of spherical particles with nonlinear... more
Ultrasonic guided wave imaging with a sparse, or spatially distributed, array can detect and localize damage over large areas. Conventional delay-and-sum images from such an array typically have a relatively high noise floor, however, and... more
Permanently attached, distributed sparse arrays of piezoelectric transducers have been proposed as a cost-effective solution for rapid interrogation of large, plate-like structures for structural health monitoring. Many proposed methods... more
Abstract. The ultrasonic detection of uniform corrosion in a thin sheet of aluminum alloy 2024-T3 was investigated at an early stage of corrosion damage. The artificial corrosion, similar to the corrosion in lap joints during operational... more
An acoustical-ultrasonic technique was used to demonstrate relationships existing between changes in attenuation of stress waves and tensile stress on an eight ply 0 degree graphite-epoxy fiber reinforced composite. All tests were... more
