Abstract
This project is motivated by the goal to improve the understanding of guided ultrasonic wave propagation in composite plates. Wave dispersion, attenuation and their angular dependency were investigated in composite plates with different fibre arrangements. The 3D finite element (FE) composite models are constructed in MATLAB, which the parameters can be altered easily, and the simulations were performed using ABAQUS/Explicit. The simulated wave characteristics for different composite models were compared to the experimental results. An approximation propagation of the A0wave mode using the FE analysis is established and validated. In this study, the complexity of the wave characteristic being dependent on the fibre arrangement is shown. The properties of the A0wave mode in unidirectional composite plate show a significant directional dependency. This could affect the detection sensitivity when the guided waves is monitored not in principle directions. This complication is crucial to be understood in order to improve the interpretation of received signals, particularly for defect characterization.
