This paper studied factors influencing AU detection results on different damage specimens, including simulation frequency, transducer modes and transducer location. Correlation between acousto-ultrasonic parameters (AUP1, AUP2) and impact damage severity in composite was investigated. The results showed that as damage severity increased, AUP1 and AUP2 of three different transducers decreased. Applying low frequency transducer, the variation of AUP1 may indicate a more rapid detection prospect. In addition, applying S1-transducer and WD-transducer, AUP2 was more effective for the early damage detection. Varying transducer’s location, S1-transducer applying 500khz simulation frequency presented a valuable results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
