Lamb wave is a special type of elastic wave that is widely employed in structural health monitoring systems for damage detection. Recently, piezoelectric (piezo) patches are becoming popular for Lamb wave excitation and sensing because it can be utilized as an actuator and a sensor. All published work assumed that the Lamb wave displacement field generated by a piezo patch actuator is axi-symmetric. However, we experimentally observed that the displacement fields excited by the piezo patch actuator are directional and this directionality is frequency dependent. In this paper, we present a simulation model that explains this phenomenon by incorporating the bending deformation of the piezo actuator into the calculations of the Lamb wave generation. The driving forces acting on the host plate are calculated from the out-of-plane deformation of the piezo patch through the deformation of the bonding layer. Treating these forces as tone-burst point loads, the displacement field excited by the piezo patch is constructed from the displacement solutions of time-harmonic point loads. Simulation results confirmed that a piezo patch vibrating at certain vibration mode can result in the directional and frequency dependant displacement fields observed by the experiment.

Military personnel use protective armor systems that are frequently exposed to low-level damage, such as non-ballistic impact, wear-and-tear from everyday use, and damage during storage of equipment. The extent to which such low-level pre-damage could affect the performance of an armor system is unknown. In this work, low-level pre-damage has been introduced into a Kevlar/phenolic resin-starved composite panel using tensile loading. The tensile stress–strain behavior of this eight-layer material has been investigated and has been found to have two distinct regions; these have been understood in terms of the microstructure and damage within the composite panels investigated using micro-computed tomography and digital image correlation. Ballistic testing carried out on pristine (control) and pre-damaged panels did not indicate any difference in the V50 ballistic performance. However, an indication of a difference in response to ballistic impact was observed; the area of maximal local out-of-plane deformation for the pre-damaged panels was found to be twice that of the control panels, and the global out-of-plane deformation across the panel was also larger.

In the concept of the process signature, the relationship between a material load and the modification remaining in the workpiece is used to better understand and optimize manufacturing processes. The basic prerequisite for this is to be able to measure the loads occurring during the machining process in the form of mechanical deformations. Speckle photography is suitable for this in-process measurement task and is already used in a variety of ways for in-plane deformation measurements. The shortcoming of this fast and robust measurement technique based on image correlation techniques is that out-of-plane deformations in the direction of the measurement system cannot be detected and increases the measurement error of in-plane deformations. In this paper, we investigate a method that infers local out-of-plane motions of the workpiece surface from the decorrelation of speckle patterns and is thus able to reconstruct three-dimensional deformation fields. The implementation of the evaluation method enables a fast reconstruction of 3D deformation fields, so that the in-process capability remains given. First measurements in a deep rolling process show that dynamic deformations underneath the die can be captured and demonstrate the suitability of the speckle method for manufacturing process analysis.

Paper Method

In order to study the buckling mechanics behaviour of the out-of-plane stability of arches with the double symmetry axis section, by mean of potential variational theories, considering the out-of-plane deformation of arches, the out-of-plane stability governing equation of arches was obtained. The problem was solved by the spline function allocating point method. An example was calculated with this paper method. It is shown by comparing the result of this paper with the others that the paper method is reliable and accurate.

The fracture properties of Plexiglass bright the attentions of the researchers as it is the import material used in aero-planes industry The white speckle technique could obtain displacement fields nondestructively under the normal environment. Compare to the laser speckle method there are no interference light source and the vibration isolation needed. In the paper the principle of the technique is described and the displacement field near crack and SIF are measured. The results show that the technique is very suitable to the application in industry.

The change of mold normal curvature along the trajectory may result in out-of-plane waviness during the automated laying process, on which the layup speed and temperature would have an effect. A new parameter, deformation rate, was defined by combining the effect of mold curvature change rate and layup speed. A predicting model was proposed based on the fiber waviness and interlaminar sliding model to calculate the relationship between stiffness retention and the layup process parameters, including deformation rate and temperature. An experimental study on the effect of different deformation parameters on the tensile performance of composites was carried out based on a new manufacturing method of plated specimens with different levels of waviness by means of a four-point bending fixture. The experimental results showed that when the deformation temperature increases from 20℃ to 80℃, the tensile strength increases first and then decreases while the tensile module keeps increasing. While the deformation rate decreases from 0.40 to 0.04 mm−1/s, both tensile strength and module showed an increasing trend. The predicting model being validated by experimental results can be utilized to optimize the layup process parameter to satisfy the quality and efficiency requirements.
