The Effect of Ply Orientation and Damage Detection in Composite Stiffened Panel Using Lamb Waves

Abstract

The present work proposes a vibration study with different surface and layers orientations at 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90°using the Abaqus finite element code, the frequencies Stratified laminate composite panels were studied and the comparison between damaged structures and perfect structures we used stiffened panels based on T-shaped reinforced fibers. Lamb waves (LW) were widely proposed for the long-range inspection of Structural Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) oriented composite structures, the obtained results show the angle effects on the natural frequency increase at a peak then decrease in the form of a sinusoidal half-curve and the numerical results found in this work can be compared to those of other authors in the same area of ​​research, A piezoelectric actuator is used to design acoustic waves and a sensor is used for signal acquisition.

“…Damage detection analysis based on varying velocities using the SLDV approach was performed by Maio et al [24]. Stiffened carbon fibre plate was analysed using SLDV [25] by Zheng et al with changes in velocity and time of arrival [26] approaches. The use of the root mean square (RMS) energy of GW in damage detection was analysed by many researchers [27][28][29][30].…”
