Abstract

The historical background and the theoretical basis of the monitoring of stress and strain by acoustic waves is presented. Discussed are furthermore the results of digital simulations and the experimental developments and instrumental techniques needed to monitor the stress–strain relation present in the observed samples solely with the aid of traveling acoustic waves. The obtained experimental results are compared to conventional detection of the stress–strain relation performed synchronous to the developed ultrasonic monitoring for different metallic samples. Applications related to structural health monitoring of aircraft components by guided ultrasonic waves are exemplified to demonstrate the range of applications of the techniques developed for the presented monitoring scheme.
