Abstract
Carbon fiber reinforced composites are widely used in the aerospace industry, but barely visible impact damage can lead to delamination and compromise the structural integrity. The scattering of the fundamental anti-symmetric guided wave mode (A0 Lamb mode) at an artificial circular delamination in a quasi-isotropic laminate was investigated experimentally. A 5 cycle Hanning windowed wave pulse was used as the excitation signal for the experiments. Fast Fourier Transform was employed to identify the guided wave amplitude of the scattered field along various directions. The experimental wavefield was captured using a laser Doppler vibrometer. Experimental results are presented for the scattering pattern and scattering amplitude as a function of distance from the damage. The results of this study can help to improve delamination detection techniques using guided waves and to gain physical insights into the scattering of guided waves at a delamination.
