Lamb Wave Based Structural Health Monitoring In Polymer Composites

Download or read book Lamb-Wave Based Structural Health Monitoring in Polymer Composites written by Rolf Lammering and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-30 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book focuses especially on the application of SHM technology to thin walled structural systems made from carbon fiber reinforced plastics. Here, guided elastic waves (Lamb-waves) show an excellent sensitivity to structural damages so that they are in the center of this book. It is divided into 4 sections dealing with analytical, numerical and experimental fundamentals, and subsequently with Lamb-wave propagation in fiber reinforced composites, SHM-systems and signal processing. The book is designed for engineering students as well as for researchers in the field of structural health monitoring and for users of this technology.
