Reliability assessment of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems
poses new challenges pushing the research community to address many questions which are still open. For guided wave-based SHM it is not possible to evaluate the system performance without taking into account the target structure and applied system parameters. This range of variables would result in countless measurements.
Factors like environmental conditions, structural dependencies and wave characteristics demand novel solutions for performance analysis of SHM systems compared to those relying on classical non-destructive evaluation. Such novel approaches typically require model-assisted investigations which may not only help to explain and understand performance assessment results but also enable complete studies without costly experiments. Within this contribution, a multi input multi output approach using a sparse transducer array permanently installed on a composite structure to excite and sense guided waves is considered. Firstly, the method and the analysis of path-based performance assessment are presented considering an open-access dataset from the Open Guided Wave platform. Then, a performance analysis of a guided wave-based SHM system using Probability of Detection is presented. To explain some unexpected results, the model-assisted investigations are used to understand the physical phenomena of wave propagation in the test specimen including the interaction with damage. Finally, issues and future steps in SHM systems’ performance assessment and their development are discussed.
Akustische Verfahren eignen sich hervorragend zur Bestimmung der Werkstoffeigenschaften. Die Verfügbarkeit derartiger Verfahren ist vor allem für Kunststoffe wichtig, da deren Eigenschaften stark abhängig vom jeweiligen Herstellungsprozess und vom Alterungszustand sind. Exakte und vollständige Werte sind daher in Datenbanken oder von Herstellern nur begrenzt zu finden. Insbesondere die Entwicklung von Methoden zur Charakterisierung faserverstärkter Kunststoffe (FKV) ist nach wie vor Gegenstand der Forschung. Hier müssen anisotropiebedingt mehrere Kennwerte bestimmt werden. Da FKV zumeist als dünnwandige Bauteile zum Einsatz kommen, können die Werkstoffparameter aus den Dispersionseigenschaften der Lamb-Wellen, die sich in diesen Strukturen ausbreiten, abgeleitet werden. Dazu ist eine räumliche Abtastung des sich ausbreitenden Schallfelds erforderlich.
In der vorliegenden Untersuchung wird dieser Ansatz für die relativ neue Werkstoffklasse der faserverstärkten Thermoplaste angewendet. Diese zeichnet ein ausgeprägtes Dämpfungsverhalten und eine Anisotropie der Materialparameter aus. Dazu wurde das Schallfeld im Ultraschallbereich mit einem Laser-Doppler-Vibrometers vermessen. Rechnerisch bestimmte Dispersionskurven wurden dann an die gemessenen Werte angepasst, womit die richtungsabhängigen Materialparameter bestimmt werden konnten.
Im Vortrag wird das Messverfahren vorgestellt und auf spezielle Probleme, die sich z.B. aus dem Dämpfungsverhalten des Werkstoffs ergeben, eingegangen. Ausgewählte gemessene Werte werden mit den Ergebnissen von Referenzverfahren verglichen.
An approach to adhesive bond characterisation using guided acoustic waves in multi-layered plates
(2021)
An approach for the non-destructive characterisation of adhesive bonds using guided ultrasonic waves is presented. Pulsed laser radiation is used to thermoacoustically excite broadband ultrasonic waves in a multi-layered sample, consisting of a metal plate adhesively joined to a polymeric layer using synthetic resin. The resulting signals are received by a purpose-built piezoelectric transducer. Varying the distance between excitation and detection yields spatio-temporal measurement data, from which the dispersive properties of the propagating waves can be inferred using a two-dimensional Fourier transform, assuming the plates to act as coupled waveguides. Coupled multi-layered waveguides show an effect referred to as mode repulsion, where the distance between certain modes in the frequency-wavenumber domain is assumed to be a measure of coupling strength. Measurements at different stages of curing of the adhesive layer are performed and evaluated. A comparison of the results shows changes in the dispersive properties, namely an increased modal bandwidth for the fully cured sample as well as an increased modal distance.
Composite-Druckbehälter werden für Speicherung und Transport von Gasen unter hohem Druck verwendet. Durch die gewichtssparende Struktur, die aus einem dünnwandigem Metallgefäß und Faserverbundwerkstoff-Ummantelung besteht, sind solche Behälter insbesondere für die Luftfahrt- und Automobilindustrie interessant, z.B. als Wasserstoffspeicher.
Die Druckprüfung ist ein konventioneller Test, um die Integrität von Metalldruckbehältern zu bewerten. Im Falle des Composite-Druckbehälters könnte eine solche Prüfung jedoch den Faserverbundwerkstoff überbeanspruchen und somit die verbleibende Lebensdauer der getesteten Komponente verringern. Infolgedessen ist es notwendig, Verfahren zur zerstörungsfreien Prüfung und möglicherweise zur Zustandsüberwachung von Composite-Druckbehältern zu entwickeln. Unser Ansatz verwendet geführte Ultraschallwellen und hat das Potenzial, kritische Schäden wie Risse im Metall und Faserbrüche und Matrixrisse in Faserverbundwerkstoff zu detektieren.
In diesem Beitrag wurde die Scaled Boundary Finite Elemente Methode benutzt, um die multimodale, geführte Wellenausbreitung in einem Mehrschichtverbund, der aus Metall und Kohlenfaserverbund entsteht, zu analysieren. Das Verfahren ermöglicht die Identifizierung geeigneter Wellenmoden und die Analyse ihrer Interaktion mit verschiedenen Schäden. Diese Kenntnisse sollen für die Entwicklung von Verfahren zur Zustandsüberwachung von Composite-Druckbehältern angewendet werden.
Die Scaled Boundary Finite Elemente Methode (SBFEM) ist eine semi-analytische Methode, die vielversprechende Ergebnisse bei der Modellierung geführter Ultraschallwellen zeigt. Effizienz und niedriger Rechenaufwand der Methode werden durch Diskretisierung des Randes der Rechendomäne erreicht, während für die Domäne selbst die analytische Lösung verwendet wird. Mittels der SBFEM können verschiedene Arten von Fehlern können modelliert werden, z. Risse, Poren, Delamination, Korrosion, die in eine Struktur aus anisotropen und isotropen Materialien integriert sind.
In diesem Beitrag wird das SBFEM verwendet, um die Ausbreitung von geführten Wellen in einer Struktur zu analysieren, die aus einem isotropen Metall besteht, das an anisotropes Kohlefaserverstärktes Material gebunden ist. Das Verfahren ermöglicht die Identifizierung geeigneter Wellentypen (Modi) und die Analyse ihrer Interaktion mit verschiedenen Defekten. Die erzielten Ergebnisse werden zur Entwicklung eines Zustandsüberwachungssystems für Composite-Druckbehälter verwendet, die in der Automobil- und Luftfahrtindustrie benutzt werden.
Guided waves (GW) are of great interest for non-destructive testing (NDT) and structural health monitoring (SHM) of engineering structures such as for oil and gas pipelines, rails, aircraft components, adhesive bonds and possibly much more. Development of a technique based on GWs requires careful understanding obtained through modelling and analysis of wave propagation and mode-damage interaction due to the dispersion and multimodal character of GWs. The Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM) is a suitable numerical approach for this purpose allowing calculation of dispersion curves, mode shapes and GW propagation analysis. In this article, the SBFEM is used to analyse wave propagation in a plate consisting of an isotropic aluminium layer bonded as a hybrid to an anisotropic carbon fibre reinforced plastics layer. This hybrid Composite corresponds to one of those considered in a Type III composite pressure vessel used for storing gases, e.g., hydrogen in automotive and aerospace applications. The results show that most of the wave energy can be concentrated in a certain layer depending on the mode used, and by that damage present in this layer can be detected. The results obtained help to understand the wave propagation in multi-layered structures and are important for further development of NDT and SHM for Engineering structures consisting of multiple layers.
Guided waves cover comparably long distances and thus allow for online structural health monitoring of safety relevant components, e.g. lightweight composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPV) as used for the transportation of pressurised gases. Reliable non-destructive assessment of COPVs’ condition is not available yet due to their complex composite structure comprising a thin metal liner and a fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) overwrap. The conventional overload hydrostatic pressure testing used for the metal vessels is not suitable for the composite vessels, because it may damage the FRP overwrap reducing the service life of the COPV. Therefore, ISO and CEN defined a maximum service life of composite pressure vessels as of 15 to 20 years. To extend the COPVs’ service life and to ensure a safer usage a structural health monitoring system based on guided ultrasonic waves is to be developed.
In this contribution first results of guided waves propagation in a flat composite plate consisting of an aluminium layer firmly bonded to a carbon fibre reinforced plastic laminate are presented. Based on experimental results material properties of FRP are reconstructed by means of the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM).

Lamb waves are widely used for non-destructive evaluation of material parameters as well as for detection of defects. Another application of Lamb waves is quality control of adhesive joints.
Researchers are currently investigating shear horizontal and zero-group velocity modes for characterisation of the adhesive bonding strength. In a new approach, Lamb wave mode repulsion is used to obtain the coupling strength between different layers to characterise the adhesive bonding strength. The modes of the individual layers become coupled in the multilayered systems forming particular regions, the so-called mode repulsion regions. This study investigates these modes and their interaction in two-layered plate-like structures with varying coupling strength both numerically, with the Scaled Boundary FEM, and experimentally.
