Use of delay and sum for sparse reconstruction improvement for structural health monitoring

To perform active structural health monitoring, guided Lamb waves for damage detection have recently gained extensive attention. Many algorithms are used for damage detection with guided waves and among them, the delay-and-sum method is the most commonly used algorithm because of its robustness and simplicity. However, delay-and-sum images...

Residual stress effects of a fatigue crack on guided lamb waves

Structural health monitoring has focused on the use of computational models to capture the effect of crack-like discontinuities on the behaviour of acoustic-ultrasonic signals. However, few models have taken into account the effect of geometric complexity in combination with residual stresses generated during the fatigue crack growth (FCG)...
