Derivation and experimental validation of Lamb wave equations for an n-layered anisotropic composite laminate

TL;DR: In this article, a full derivation of Lamb wave equations for n-layered monoclinic composite laminates based on linear 3D elasticity by considering the displacement fields in all three directions using the partial wave technique in combination with the Global Matrix (GM) approach is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Methodological Review of Piezoelectric Based Acoustic Wave Generation and Detection Techniques for Structural Health Monitoring

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review a variety of ingenious ways in which piezoelectric transducers are used in today's structural health monitoring (SHM) technologies as a means of generation and/or detection of diagnostic acoustic waves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of composite lamina properties on fundamental Lamb wave mode dispersion characteristics

TL;DR: In this article, the effect on the Lamb wave propagation/dispersion due to changes in the material properties such as E 11, E 22, G 12, and density were analyzed for three different composite laminate types, all constructed out of 16-plies of unidirectional carbon-fiber epoxy prepregs.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Hybrid Structural Health Monitoring System for the Detection and Localization of Damage in Composite Structures

TL;DR: A hybrid structural health monitoring system, consisting of a piezoelectric transducer and fiber optic sensors for generating and monitoring Lamb waves, was investigated to determine their potential for damage detection and localization in composite aerospace structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Embedded fiber optic sensors for monitoring processing, quality and structural health of resin transfer molded components

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of fiber optic sensors for process and structural health monitoring (SHM) of Resin Transfer Molded (RTM) composite structures is discussed. But the authors focus on the detection of Lamb waves generated with a centrally located PZT.
