The carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is widely used in aircraft and wind turbine
blades because of their high strength and low weight. The CFRP is sensitive to impact …

Ultrasound has been used to inspect composite laminates since their invention but only
recently has the response from the internal plies themselves been considered of interest …

We study an ultrasonic experimental approach for the damage characterization of polymer
composites. Our approach is based on the key concept that damage of polymer composites …

An enhanced two-stage inversion scheme for the determination of the viscoelastic properties
of orthotropic plates (eg fiber reinforced polymers) based on the pulsed ultrasonic polar scan …

In this work the possibility to reverse engineer the transverse isotropic carbon fibre
properties from the 3D homogenized elastic tensor of the UD ply for the prediction of woven …

This paper focuses on the characterization of the three-dimensional elastic properties of
wood materials using the propagation velocity of ultrasonic waves in the context of the …

Tissue nonlinearity is conventionally measured in shear wave elastography by studying the
change in wave speed caused by the tissue deformation, generally known as the …

A novel approach is presented for the ultrasonic determination of the elastic constants in
plate-like structures of an orthotropic material (eg composites) using a Time-of-Flight version …

Multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm-based structural health monitoring
technology is a promising method because of its directional scanning ability and easy …

The main purpose of the current research is to pilot study the impact damage detection in a
beam structure using infrared thermography. In this study, a beam structure, made of …
