Detectability of damage using Lamb waves depends on many factors such as size and severity of damage, attenuation of the wave and distance to the transducers. This paper presents a detectability model for pitch-catch sensors configuration for structural health monitoring (SHM) applications. The proposed model considers the physical properties of lamb wave propagation and is independent of damage detection algorithm, which provides a generic solution for probability of detection. The applicability of the model in different environmental and operational conditions is also discussed.

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of aircrafts is of great relevance in the present age aircraft industry. The present study demonstrates three techniques that have the potential for the SHM of multi-layered composite structures. The first technique is based on multi-transmitter-multireceiver (MTMR) technique with tomographic methods used for data reconstruction. In the MTMR, the possibility of SHM using algebraic reconstruction techniques (ART) for tomographic imaging with Lamb wave data measured in realistic materials is examined. Defects (through holes and low velocity impact delaminations) were synthetic and have been chosen to simulate impact damage in composite plates. The second technique is a single-transmitter-multi-receiver (STMR) technique that is more compact and uses reconstruction techniques that are analogous to synthetic aperture techniques. The reconstruction algorithm uses summation of the phase shifted signals to image the location of defects, portions of the plate edges, and any reflectors from inherent structural features of the component. The third technique involves a linear array of sensors across a stiffener for the detection of disbanded regions.

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) aims to shift aircraft maintenance from a time-based to a condition-based approach. Within all the SHM techniques, Acoustic Emission (AE) allows for the monitoring of large areas by analyzing Lamb waves propagating in plate like structures. In this study, the authors proposed a Time Reversal (TR) methodology with the aim of reconstructing an original and unaltered signal from an AE event. Although the TR method has been applied in Narrow-Band (NwB) signal reconstruction, it fails when a Broad-Band (BdB) signal, such as a real AE event, is present. Therefore, a novel methodology based on the use of a Frequencies Compensation Transfer Function (FCTF), which is capable of reconstructing both NwB and real BdB signals, is presented. The study was carried out experimentally using several sensor layouts and materials with two different AE sources: (i) a Numerically Built Broadband (NBB) signal, (ii) a Pencil Lead Break (PLB). The results were validated numerically using Abaqus/CAETM with the implementation of absorbing boundaries to minimize edge reflections.
