Broadband signal reconstruction for SHM: An experimental and numerical time reversal methodology

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) aims to shift aircraft maintenance from a time-based to a condition-based approach. Within all the SHM techniques, Acoustic Emission (AE) allows for the monitoring of large areas by analyzing Lamb waves propagating in plate like structures. In this study, the authors proposed a Time Reversal (TR) methodology...

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)...
