Ultrasonic Guided Wave Interpretation For Structural Health Inspections, Jill Paisley Bingham Jan 2008

Ultrasonic Guided Wave Interpretation For Structural Health Inspections, Jill Paisley Bingham

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Structural Health Management (SHM) combines the use of onboard sensors with artificial intelligence algorithms to automatically identify and monitor structural health issues. A fully integrated approach to SHM systems demands an understanding of the sensor output relative to the structure, along with sophisticated prognostic systems that automatically draw conclusions about structural integrity issues. Ultrasonic guided wave methods allow us to examine the interaction of multimode signals within key structural components. Since they propagate relatively long distances within plate- and shell-like structures, guided waves allow inspection of greater areas with fewer sensors, making this technique attractive for a variety of applications.;This …
