Structural health monitoring and power harvesting systems for aerospace applications

This paper presents a material damage detection and localisation technique based on nonlinear elastic waves propagation in a composite laminate. The proposed method relies on the time of arrival estimation of the second harmonic nonlinear response obtained with second order phase symmetry analysis filtering and burst excitation. The Akaike Information Criterion approach was used to estimate the arrival times of the second order nonlinear elastic waves, measured by six receiver transducers. Then, a combination of Newton’s method and unconstrained optimisation was employed to solve a system of nonlinear equations in order to obtain the material damage coordinates. To validate this methodology, experimental tests were carried out on a damaged composite plate. The results showed that this technique allows detecting and localising the material defect position with high accuracy. In particular, the maximum error in the estimation of damage location at the driving frequency of 319.85 kHz was nearly 5 mm.
