Abstract

This paper demonstrates damage detection in a smart sandwich panel with integrated piezoceramic transducers. The panel is built from a chiral honeycomb and two composite skins. A low-profile, surface-bonded piezoceramic transducer is used for high-frequency ultrasonic excitation. Low-frequency excitation is performed using an electromagnetic shaker. Ultrasonic sensing is performed using laser vibrometry. Nonlinear acoustics is applied for damage detection. The study is focused on sensor location analysis with respect to vibro-acoustic wave modulations.
The paper demonstrates that when structure is damaged, the high-frequency “weak” ultrasonic wave is modulated by the low-frequency “strong” vibration wave. As a result frequency sidebands can be observed around the main acoustic harmonic in the spectrum of the ultrasonic signal. However, intensity of modulation strongly depends on sensor location.
