Damage Identification Based on Lamb Waves


1. A quantitative expression of anisotropic wave front was proposed to reveal the direction dependency of Lamb wave propagation in composite laminates;

2. On basis of the wave-front equation, a reliable and efficient detection approach for damage localization in composite laminates was developed;

3. Proposed a detection method to quantitatively identify the interface and size of a delamination, even though the delamination interface was not pre-given.
