Abstract

The propagation characteristics of Lamb waves in carbon fiber reinforced plastics with low velocity impact (LVI) damage were investigated by numerical simulation. In order to accurately simulate lamb response to the multiple types of damage, a three-dimension finite element model was built. First, various types of damages were obtained by low velocity impact with variety of impact energy on composite plates. Then, Lamb waves are loaded into the composite plate with multiple damages Four sensors are arranged in a diamond shape with the damage as the center. One sensor sends Lamb wave and the other three receive Lamb wave signal to extract the signal containing damage information. Finally, the power spectrum density was introduced to characterize the relationship between lamb waves and damage. The results demonstrate that the evolution law of damage is consistent with the theory and the sensitivity of power spectrum density to damage was verified. This study provides a new in-depth research method for damage detection and analysis.
