Material Properties and Defects Characterization Using LLW Data

Leaky Lamb Wave (LLW) propagation in composite materials has been studied extensively since it was first observed in 1982. The wave is induced using a pitch-catch arrangement and the plate wave modes are detected by identifying minima in the reflected spectra to obtain the dispersion data.

Defects Detection and Characterization Using Leaky Lamb Wave (LLW) Dispersion Data

Composite materials are being used at a significant level of usage for flaw critical structures and they are taking a growing percentage of the makeup of aircraft and spacecraft. Composite structues are now reaching service duration, for which the issue of aging is requiring adquate attention.
