An Acoustic Emission And Artificial Intelligence Approach To Structural Health Monitoring For Aerospace Application, Joseph Chandler Garrett Apr 2021

An Acoustic Emission And Artificial Intelligence Approach To Structural Health Monitoring For Aerospace Application, Joseph Chandler Garrett

Theses and Dissertations

In the area of aerospace and other applications, structural health monitoring (SHM) has been a significant and growing area of research in recent years. Throughout the operational life of aerospace structures, various damage scenarios may manifest, and it is of great concern to the aerospace community to develop methodologies for detecting and assessing these damage scenarios. In this paper, fundamental research on the use of the acoustic emission (AE) approach to SHM for fatigue crack growth is presented. In general, the AE approach to SHM and non-destructive evaluation (NDE) involves the sensing of ultrasonic Lamb waves propagating through a structure. …
