Structural health monitoring (SHM) based on Lamb waves, a type of ultrasonic guided waves, is a promising method for in-service inspection of composite structures. Lamb waves can be excited and received using a network of actuators and sensors, which are permanently attached to the structure. By analysing the sensor signals, different kinds of structural defects can be detected and located through the interaction of the Lamb waves. This paper presents the development and manufacturing of a full-scale composite fuselage panel with a
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
