Structural Health Monitoring Pertaining to Critical Aircraft Structural Components

Abstract

The aim of this project was to develop and validate efficient computational and experimental tools for characterizing the temporal and spatial features of incident stress wave necessary for the efficient generation of a circumferential creeping wave and its associated reradiated bulk wave in open holes using low profile surface mounted actuators and exploit the circumferential creep wave and its associated reradiated bulk wave for the detection and monitoring of service induced defects in hard-to-inspect regions.
