Quantitative assessment of crack size based on lamb wave method

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This paper presents a new method for quantitative assessment of crack size using in-situ Lamb wave test. Surface-bonded piezoelectric discs were arrayed as actuators and sensors to generate and collect the fundamental symmetrical mode (S0), respectively. The normalized amplitude of damage is used to quantify the crack size. In order to simulate the process of crack generation, Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) is used to generate different size of crack. Lamb wave coupon test on simple plates is performed to obtain a baseline quantification model between the crack size and damage sensitive features.
