Predictive Sensing of Aerospace Composite Structures

Abstract

A methodology for predicting the response of structural sensors in aerospace composites as a function of the structural state and/or the presence of structural flaws or damage was studied. The project involved a judicious combination of advance theoretical developments and carefully conducted experiments. An efficient hybrid global-local (HGL) approach that combines global analytical wave propagation with local FEM wave-damage interaction analysis was adopted.
