Assessment of Damages in Sandwich Panels Based on the Damage Location Indexes
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration - Year 2013, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presents a methodology to locate and evaluate transversal damages in composite structures, based on natural frequency shifts due to damage. In previous researches the authors succeeded to contrive a relation between the decrease of the strain energy stored in a damaged slice and the frequency change due to that damage. It can be used to create patterns, uniquely characterizing the damage position along the beam, so that damage localization becomes a pattern recognition problem. While for beams with constant rigidity in healthy state these patterns are not dependent on the beam’s cross-section shape or structure, the damage location algorithm can be used also for composites, like sandwich panels. Once the location known, the damage severity/depth can be extracted from the above mentioned relation. This damage assessment algorithm was validated by measurements on numerous sandwich panel specimens.
