摘要
The aim of this study is to quantitatively assess debonding in sandwich CF/EP composite structures with a honeycomb core using acoustic waves activated and captured by surface-mounted Pit elements For experimental investigation debonding was introduced at different locations in sandwich CF/EP composite beams The fundamental anti-symmetric A(0) Lamb mode was excited at a low frequency The transmitted and reflected wave signals in both surface panels were captured by Pit elements after interacting with the debonding damage and specimen boundaries Aided by finite element analysis (FEA) the differences in wave propagation characteristics in sandwich composite beams and composite laminate (e g skin panel only) were investigated The debonding location was assessed using the time-of-flight (ToF) of damage-reflected waves and the severity of debonding was evaluated using both the magnitude of the reflected wave signal and the delay in the ToF of Lamb wave signals Good correlation between the experimental and FEA simulation results was observed The results demonstrate the effectiveness of Lamb waves activated and captured by surface-mounted Pit elements on either surface of sandwich composite structures in assessing debonding (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
