The article presents the methodology for finding material damping capacity at higher frequency and at relatively lower amplitudes. The Lamb wave dispersion theory and loss less finite element model is used to find the damping capacity of composite materials. The research has been focused on high frequency applications materials. The method was implemented on carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) plates. The Lamb waves were generated using ultrasonic pulse generator setup. The hybrid method has been explored in this article and the results have been compared with bandwidth methods available in the literature.

In this paper, damage detection method by using the time reversal is developed to detect damage on composit structures. The time reversal was investigated for direct root between PZT and PZT, but in case of a circular PZT, lamb wave moves not only along the direct root but also another roots. The center frequency of lamb wave is kept when the lamb waves are reflected from damage. This paper presents experimental and theoretical results for the new structural health monitoring method by above features of lamb wave, and we can increase accuracy of the new structural health monitoring method by using STFT(Short Time Fourier Transform).

판재를 따라 전파하는 Lamb wave (램파)는 주파수에 따라 속도가 변하는 분산특성을 갖는다. 일반적으로 등방성 재료에서는 파수 벡터 방향과 에너지 흐름 방향은 같아, 파면이 원형을 유지하면서 전파하지만, 복합재료와 같이 이방성재료에서는 파수 벡터와 에너지 흐름 방향이 서로 다르다. 따라서 이방성 재료에서 하나의 속도에서 다른 속도로 전환하려면 방향을 교정해야 하고 이에 따라 크기도 달라지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 복합재료 판재에서 전파하는 램파 분산방정식을 이용하여 대칭, 비대칭 모드의 분산선도를 작성하였고, 각도에 따라구한 위상속도 분산선도에서 얻어진 위상속도 값으로 slowness surface를 구한 후, 이로부터 군속도의 크기와 방향을 교정하였고, 이를 실험적으로 측정한 속도값과 비교하여 서로 일치함을 확인하였다.

This work is aimed to explore a possibility of using the generalized Lamb waves for nondestructive evaluation of the bonding quality of layered substrates. For this purpose, we prepared two sets of specimens with imperfect bonding at their interfaces; 1) TiN-coated specimens with various wear conditions, and 2) CVD diamond specimens with various cleaning conditions. A dispersion simulation performed for layered substrates with imperfect interfaces are carried out to get the characteristics of dispersion curves that can be used for bonding quality evaluation. Then the characteristics of dispersion curves of the fabricated specimens are experimentally determined by use of an ultrasonic backward radiation measurement technique. The results obtained in the present study show that the lowest velocity mode (Rayleigh-like) of the generalized Lamb waves are sensitively affected by the bonding quality. Therefore, the generalized Lamb waves can be applied for nondestructive evaluation of imperfect bonding quality in various layered substrates.

This paper presents a non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technique for detecting damages on a jointed steel plate on the basis of the time of flight and wavelet coefficient, obtained from wavelet transforms of Lamb wave signals. Support vector machines (SVMs), which is a tool for pattern classification problems, was applied to the damage estimation. Two kinds of damages were artificially introduced by loosening bolts located in the path of the Lamb waves and those out of the path. The damage cases were used for the establishment of the optimal decision boundaries which divide each damage class's region from the intact class. In this study, the applicability of the SVMs was investigated for the damages in and out of the Lamb wave path. It has been found that the present methods are very efficient in detecting the damages simulated by loose bolts on the jointed steel plate.

Researches using time reversal acoustics(TRA) for impact localization have been paid attention to recently. Dispersion characteristics of Lamb waves, which restrict the utility of classical nondestructive evaluation based on time-of-flight information, can be compensated through the application of TRA to Lamb waves on a plate. This study investigates the spatial focusing performance of time reversal Lamb waves on a plate using finite element analysis. In particular, the virtual sensor effect caused by multiple wave reflections at the boundaries of a plate is shown to enable the spatial focusing of Lamb waves though a very small number of surface-bonded piezoelectric(PZT) sensors are available. The time window size of forward response signals, are normalized with respect to the number of virtual active sensors. Then their effects on the spatial focusing performance of Lamb waves are investigated.

이방성을 지닌 복합재료에서 측정한 군속도와 램파 방정식을 이용하여 계산한 군속도는 서로 일치하지 않는다. 이러한 차이는 이방성 재료에서 군속도 방향과 위상속도 방향이 서로 일치하지 않는 현상에서 기인된 것이다. 본 연구에서는 램파 분산방정식을 이용하여 이방성을 지닌 단일방향, 양방향, 준등방성 복합재료 판에서 $S_0$모드 위상속도곡선을 전파 방향 변화에 따라 구하고, 위상속도의 역수 값으로 구성되는 slowness surface를 이용하여 군속도의 방향과 크기를 결정하였다. 이와 같이 계산된 군속도는 측정한 군속도와 잘 일치함을 확인하였다.

램파를 구조물 안전진단(structural health monitoring, 이하 SMH) 기법에 효과적으로 적용하기 위해서 구조물의 손상과 램파간의 물리적 특성 및 상호관계를 정확히 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 modal decomposition 방법을 이용하여 비대칭 불연속면에서 램파의 투과와 반사, 모드 변이를 모사하고, 그 진폭 비율을 불연속면의 깊이에 따라 예측하였다. 또한 이론적으로 예측된 결과를 압전센서(PZT)를 모사한 유한요소법(FEM) 모델과 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 그 결과, modal decomposition 방법을 이용한 이론적 예측이 압전센서를 이용한 유한요소 해석 및 실험 결과와 근접한 것을 확인하였으며, 불연속면의 깊이에 따른 램파의 반사와 투과, 모드 변이의 양을 이용하여 손상의 크기를 정량적으로 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다.
