Delamination monitoring using low frequency stress waves for laminated composites

Wei Shi, Zhisheng Yang, Pingyu Zhu

Owing to the anisotropy of composite laminates, local responses happens at periphery of the drilled hole even under the same loads. The strain measurement is probably the most sensitive and better option to detect and quantify delamination inside composite ...
