Edge Delamination

When a bar having one end bonded to a rigid support with foam-adhesive is loaded, the high peeling stresses at the bonded edge foster edge delamination along the interface of bonding. Upon inspection by double exposure holography, with an incremental point load applied at the free end of the bar between exposures, the indistinct fringe perturbation and the unknown resilience of the foam-adhesive (quantified by its foundation modulus) impede unambiguous evaluation of the condition of adhesion. This paper describes a simple method for rapid detection and assessment of artificially created edge delamination in such bar structures. The theoretical analysis elucidates the suitability of modelling the bar as partially clamped, and having an equivalent slope at its support related to the foundation modulus. Two dimensionless parameters are defined, which have between them a linear relationship for a nondelaminated bonding but a nonlinear relationship for a delaminated one. Finally, a simple iterative procedure is described for estimating the delaminated length without having to predetermine the elasticity of the support.

The estimation of the size and location of defects in multi-layered composite structures by ultrasonic non-destructive testing using guided waves has attracted the attention of researchers for the last few decades. Although extensive signal processing techniques are available, there are only a few studies available based on image processing of the ultrasonic B-scan image to extract the size and location of defects via the process of ultrasonic non-destructive testing. This work presents an image processing technique for ultrasonic B-scan images to improve the estimation of the location and size of disbond-type defects in glass fiber-reinforced plastic materials with 25-mm and 51-mm diameters. The sample is a segment of a wind turbine blade with a variable thickness ranging from 3 to 24 mm. The experiment is performed by using a low-frequency ultrasonic system and a pair of contact-type piezoceramic transducers kept apart by a 50-mm distance and embedded on a moving mechanical panel. The B-scan image acquired by the ultrasonic pitch-catch technique is denoised by utilizing features of two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform. Thereafter, the normalized pixel densities are compared along the scanned distance on the region of interest of the image, and a −3 dB threshold is applied to the locations and sizes the defects in the spatial domain.

Transient diffraction gratings were holographically made in dyed plastic by absorbing laser light. Mean energy values of 40 mJ/cm2 absorbed in a 3-mm thick layer were needed to make gratings that lasted about 10 s. The writing beams and a reading one of different wavelength were simultaneously made to fall on the plastic: the reading beam was diffracted by the grating, which produced transient diffracted beams of sufficient intensity to be seen by the naked eye or to be stored permanently by conventional photographic methods. Curves showing diffraction efficiency versus exposure with grating frequency as a parameter are presented. Applications to real-time single and double exposure holography are also discussed.

Fringe Patterns

Circular plates, under unknown clamping conditions and containing simulated defects in the form of circular localized thinning or thickening, are inspected by double-exposure holography. With an incremental uniform pressure applied between exposures, eccentric defects are readily revealed from the distinct irregular fringe patterns. In the case of central circular defects, however, the absence of distinct irregular fringe patterns does not enable easy visual detection of the defects. The simple method of analysis described in this paper, based on the fact that the displacement in a defective plate differs from that in a defect-free plate, allows easy deduction of central and eccentric defects from the fringe patterns. Furthermore, this method enables identification of the type of defect (localized thinning or thickening), the extent of thickness variation, as well as an accurate estimation of the location and size of the defect.
