Evaluating the performance of the SuRE method for inspection of bonding using the COMSOL finite element analysis package

The Surface Response to Excitation (SuRE) method is a guided-wave based Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technique. Up to date, no analytical model has been developed and validated for the SuRE method. This paper experimentally and analytically investigates the delamination between two plates using the SuRE method in conjunction with the COMSOL Multiphysics software. Simulation results are validated by experimental results. The results showed that the findings from the analytical approach correspond with the experimental results and can be effectively used for studying delamination. This approach can be utilized for different types of structures with similar conditions.
