Adhesively bonded composite joints can develop voids and porosity during fabrication, leading to stress concentration and a reduced load-carrying capacity. Hence, adhesive porosity analysis during the fabrication is crucial to ensure the required quality and reliability. Ultrasonic-guided wave (UGW)-based techniques without advanced signal processing often provide low-resolution imaging and can be ineffective for detecting small-size defects. This article proposes a damage imaging process for adhesive porosity analysis of bonded composite plates using UGWs measured by scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV). To implement this approach, a piezoelectric transducer is mounted on the composite joint specimen to generate UGWs, which are measured over a densely sampled area. The signals obtained from the scan are processed using the proposed signal processing in different domains. Through the utilization of filter banks in frequency and wavenumber domains, along with the root-mean-square calculation of filtered signals, damage images of the adhesive region are obtained. It has been observed that different filters provide information related to different void sizes. Combining all the images reconstructed by filters, a final image is obtained which contains damages of various sizes. The images obtained by the proposed method are verified by radiography results and the porosity analysis is presented. The results indicate that the proposed methodology can detect the pores with the smallest detectable pore area of 2.41 mm^2, corresponding to a radius of 0.88 mm, with an overall tendency to overestimate the pore size by an average of 11%.
The dispersive properties of Lamb waves can be utilised for material characterisation because the frequency-wavenumber-relationship, as well as the group velocity, depend on material parameters. These dependencies make a non-destructive estimation of an elastic constant possible. This preliminary study investigates the sensitivity of dispersion curves caused by a change in elastic constants. The Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method is used to compute special dispersion curves, which show the sensitivity value of the frequency and group velocity as a colour value. This representation allows for easy identification of patterns and local effects. Two sets of dispersion curves are presented, one set for a steel plate and the other set for a plate made of a carbon fibre reinforced polymer. In general, we notice that the sensitivity often increases with the frequency and that higher-order modes seem to be more suitable for material characterisation. Moreover, specific modes respond to material changes while others are relatively unaffected, which must be taken into consideration for material characterisation.
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

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.
The Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM) is a semi-analytical method that shows promising results in modelling of guided ultrasonic waves. Efficiency and low computational cost of the method are achieved by a discretisation of the boundary of a computational domain only, whereas for the domain itself the analytical solution is used. By means of the SBFEM different types of defects, e.g. cracks, pores, delamination, corrosion, integrated into a structure consisting of anisotropic and isotropic materials can be modelled.
In this contribution, the SBFEM is used to analyse the propagation of guided waves in a structure consisting of an isotropic metal bonded to anisotropic carbon fibre reinforced material. The method allows appropriate wave types (modes) to be identified and to analyse their interaction with different defects. Results obtained are used to develop a structural health monitoring system for composite pressure vessels used in automotive and aerospace industries.
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).

Die Scaled Boundary Finite Elemente Methode (SBFEM) ist eine semi-analytische Methode, die speziell für Modellierung von geführten Wellen weiterentwickelt und optimiert wurde. Da nur den Rand der Rechendomäne diskretisiert wird, hat die SBFEM einen geringen Rechenaufwand. In diesem Beitrag wird die SBFEM benutzt, um die Ausbreitung geführter Wellen in einer Metall-Faserverbund-Werkstoffstruktur zu analysieren. Mittels der SBFEM ist es möglich, verschiede Fehlertypen, z.B. Ermüdungsrisse, Poren, Delaminationen, Korrosion, in das numerische Modell zu integrieren und damit Defekt-Mode-Wechselwirkung zu analysieren. Die Ergebnisse wurden für die Entwicklung einer Methode zur Zustandsüberwachung von Composite-Druckbehältern verwendet.
