"...a comprehensive and well written book, which...will be useful
reading for both researchers entering the field and experienced
specialists looking for new ideas....a valuable and long-lasting
contribution to experimental mechanics." - Stepan Lomov, KU Leuven
This expert volume, an enhanced Habilitation thesis by the head of
the Materials Testing Research Group at the University of Augsburg,
provides detailed coverage of a range of inspection methods for
insitu characterization of fiber-reinforced composites. The failure
behavior of fiber reinforced composites is a complex evolution of
microscopic damage phenomena. Beyond the use of classical testing
methods, the ability to monitor the progression of damage insitu
offers new ways to interpret the materials failure modes. Methods
covered include digital image correlation, acoustic emission,
electromagnetic emission, computed tomography, thermography,
shearography, and promising method combinations. For each method,
the discussion includes operational principles and practical
applications for quality control as well as thoughtful assessment
of the method's strengths and weakness so that the reader is
equipped to decide which method or methods are most appropriate in
a given situation. The book includes extensive appendices covering
common experimental parameters influencing comparability of
acoustic emission measurements; materials properties for modeling;
and an overview of terms and abbreviations.
This open access book presents established methods of structural
health monitoring (SHM) and discusses their technological merit in
the current aerospace environment. While the aerospace industry
aims for weight reduction to improve fuel efficiency, reduce
environmental impact, and to decrease maintenance time and
operating costs, aircraft structures are often designed and built
heavier than required in order to accommodate unpredictable
failure. A way to overcome this approach is the use of SHM systems
to detect the presence of defects. This book covers all major
contemporary aerospace-relevant SHM methods, from the basics of
each method to the various defect types that SHM is required to
detect to discussion of signal processing developments alongside
considerations of aerospace safety requirements. It will be of
interest to professionals in industry and academic researchers
alike, as well as engineering students. This article/publication is
based upon work from COST Action CA18203 (ODIN -
http://odin-cost.com/), supported by COST (European Cooperation in
Science and Technology). COST (European Cooperation in Science and
Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation
networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across
Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them
with their peers. This boosts their research, career and
innovation.
