摘要
The aim of this paper is to show the possibility of fatigue damage characterization in GFRP-tube-like components by using circumferential plate waves. For that purpose, fatigue tests with different loading directions have been conducted and the stiffness degradation has been monitored. After a preset number of loading cycles, non-destructive ultrasonic tests using circumferential plate waves were performed. The correlation between damage induced amplitude changes of the plate waves and stiffness degradation in non-crimped fabric composites is discussed. The results indicate that the technique is applicable to fatigue damage assessment in complex-shaped components of composite materials and is relevant to a wide field of applications.
