TI - Impact Damage Detection in Composite Sandwich Structures by Low Frequency Lamb Waves T2 - The International Conference on Computational \& Experimental Engineering and Sciences PY - 2007 VL - 1 IS - 2 SN - 1933-2815 AB - A cost and time effective inspection strategy for in-service health monitoring of composites is demonstrated using the fundamental anti-symmetric A0 Lamb mode at frequencies of 15-20 kHz. In principle, this method involves analysis of the transmitted and/or reflected wave after interacting with the test-piece boundaries or discontinuities (defects). In the present work, the applicability of the technique to composite sandwich structures is explored. KW - DO - 10.3970/icces.2007.001.049
