Abstract: | This paper presents a delamination damage detection technique based on the nonlinear response of Lamb waves in composite laminates. In the approach, a network of transducers is employed to sequentially scan the structure by actuating and receiving dual guided waves. Using combined frequency waves originated due to contact nonlinearity when the incident dual frequency wave interacts with the damage, a damage localization imaging algorithm is proposed to locate the damage and determine the damage location. The proposed damage localization imaging algorithm is based on analysing the cross-correlation of the signal envelope at combined frequency wave with the excitation pulse envelope at incident waves for each transducer pair, the damage localization image is constructed. A numerical study using an experimentally validated finite element model is used to verify the proposed damage detection technique. The results of the numerical study show that, despite the small amplitude of the nonlinear components, the proposed method can effectively predict the damage location, and it does not require baseline measurements, which makes it potential to be a baseline-free damage detection technique. |
