Proceedings ArticleDOI
Wave propagation sensing for damage detection in plates
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of flexural wave propagation in a plate and the design of sensors to detect damage in plates based on stress wave parameters is presented. But the model is not suitable for modeling the actual physical process of wave propagation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling delamination in composite structures by incorporating the Fermi-Dirac distribution function and hybrid damage indicators
TL;DR: In this paper, the Fermi-Dirac distribution is used to model a smoother transition in the displacement and the strain fields of the delaminated interfaces during the opening and closing of the layers under vibratory loads.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Detection of Impact Damage on Space Shuttle Structures Using Acoustic Emission
TL;DR: In this article, the acoustic signals originating from impact damage on Space Shuttle components were studied and foam insulation and small aluminum spheres were used as impactors, including panels with thermal protection tiles and main landing gear doors with tiles.
Journal Article
Finite Element and Plate Theory Methods for Modeling Acoustic Emission Waveforms
Book ChapterDOI
Stress dependence of ultrasonic velocity in unidirectional graphite/epoxy composites for longitudinal waves propagating along the direction of stress
TL;DR: One effect of nonlinear elasticity on elastic wave propagation is that the velocity of the elastic wave is a function of the applied stress on the material as mentioned in this paper, which is also important in attempts to non-destructively characterize residual and applied stress in materials.
