Triple Correlation Technique for Damage Detection in Composite Materials

Abstract:

Over the last few decades a number of different techniques have been developed for impact damage detection in composite structures. The most frequently used methods in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) are: ultrasonic testing, acoustics emission, X-ray and visual inspection. These methods are quite effective but often require expensive equipment, a large number of transducers or highly qualified staff. Additionally, these techniques are used locally. Therefore monitoring of large structures in many cases is very difficult or even impossible. Recent years have seen many new developments mostly free from these limitations. This paper investigates the triple correlation technique for impact damage detection in composite structures. The method correlates fundamental and higher harmonics of signal vibration response
