Abstract

As guided ultrasonic waves are sensitive to changes in the acoustic impedance of the structure, knowledge of the waves behaviour with respect to different materials and varying temperatures is crucial for reliable damage detection. Hence, we present how specific wave characteristics, such as velocity and amplitude, behave for typical materials at various frequencies and temperatures, and how this knowledge can be integrated into a damage detection technique. We also provide an analysis of the thickness of the adhesive layer since we have experimentally observed a strong temperature-related effect on guided wave signals.
