Characterization of adhesively bonded joints using acousto-ultrasonics

Numerical Voids Detection in Bonded Metal/Composite Assemblies Using Acousto-Ultrasonic Method

“…In this context, several authors proposed the use of an acousto-ultrasonic (AU) method [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] to detect and assess defects. This technique was initially introduced and developed by Vary [18] and was rapidly used to characterize bonding [19][20][21][22].…”

Indeed, Tanary [21,22] used the acousto-ultrasonic technique to nondestructively evaluate the mechanical performance of composite bonded joints. A good correlation between the acousto-ultrasonic wave propagation characteristics and the bonded joint shear strength was established.…”
