Abstract

The propagation of guided waves and their interactions with incipient defects in beam-like structure and thin multi-layered aircraft structures are simulated using the CIVA Non-Destructive Evaluation Platform. Lamb-wave based experiments are performed and the applicability of guided wave testing for flaw detection in representative aerospace structures is investigated. We theoretically and experimentally analyze the loss of reciprocity, the time reversal invariance for signal reconstructions and we quantitatively evaluate linear and non-linear features in the elastic response signal.
