“…nonlinear resonant ultrasound spectroscopy), sub-and higher harmonic generation [3], frequency mixing [4], modulation transfer (Luxembourg-Gorky effect) [5] and many others [6] are sensitive enough to observe any changes in structural integrity. As in the case of the whole monitoring system, the structure itself can exhibit multiple nonlinear sources, such as the material nonlinearity (usually exhibited through plasticity changes or thermal aging) [7], the cumulative presence of pores in freshly manufactured materials [8], delamination, de-bonding among the layers of the structure [8], the adhesive layer or debonding between the structure and transducer [9], and finally, the nonlinear movement of the cracks surfaces (breathing [10], micro-slip [11] or stick-and-slip [12]). All of these phenomena will have a respective influence on the recorded nonlinear responses of the structural system.…”
