Towards Characterisation of Elastic Constants of Composite Materials by means of Ultrasonic Guided Waves
- The availability of non-destructive methods is particularly important for composites, e.g., carbon or glass fiber-reinforced polymers because their properties strongly depend on the manufacturing process and in-service conditions. Composites are mostly used in thin-walled components which are perfectly suited for the characterisation with ultrasonic guided waves (UGWs).
In this contribution, we demonstrate sensitivities of UGW to different elastic constants of a composite material. Then we present a characterisation procedure which can be used to in-fer elastic properties. Our approach is based on an inverse procedure in which the numeri-cally calculated dispersion curves are fitted to the measured curves. The acquisition is done by applying a broadband piezoelectric transducer (PZT) to excite various UGW modes and a 3D laser Doppler vibrometer (3D LDV) to record them. Compared to the approaches based on laser excitation, the PZT provides a better signal-to-noise ratio because moreThe availability of non-destructive methods is particularly important for composites, e.g., carbon or glass fiber-reinforced polymers because their properties strongly depend on the manufacturing process and in-service conditions.

Compared to the approaches based on laser excitation, the PZT provides a better signal-to-noise ratio because more energy is brought into the structure. Whereas the 3D LDV compared to a 1D LDV or a PZT allows cap-turing in-plane and out-of-plane components giving more dispersion information for a better characterisation. Since the inverse procedure requires many iterations before elastic prop-erties are retrieved, an efficient tool for the calculation of the dispersion curves is necessary. For this, the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method is used. All in all, a good agreement be-tween theoretical and experimental curves is demonstrated.…
