Sensors, Vol. 18, Pages 1669: Wave Propagation in Aluminum Honeycomb Plate and Debonding Detection Using Scanning Laser Vibrometer (Sensors)
 


Both the aerospace and marine industry have widely relied on a honeycomb sandwich structure (HSS) because of its high strength-to-weight ratio. However, the intrinsic nature of an adhesively bonded multi-layer structure increases the risk of debonding when the structure is under strain or exposed to varying temperatures. Such defects are normally concealed under the surface but can significantly compromise the strength and stiffness of a structure. In this paper, the guided wave method is used to detect debondings which are located between the skin and the honeycomb in sandwich plates. The propagation of guided waves in honeycomb plates is investigated via numerical techniques, with emphasis placed on demonstrating the behavior of structure-based wave interactions (SWIs). The SWI technique is effective to distinguish heterogeneous structures from homogeneous structures. The excitation frequency is necessary to generate obvious SWIs in HSSs; accordingly, a novel strategy is proposed to select the optimal excitation frequencies. A series of experiments are conducted, the results of which show that the presented procedure can be used to effectively detect the locations and the sizes of single- and multi-damage zones in HSSs.
