Structural health monitoring of composite structures using guided wave propagation methods KU Leuven
Structural failure in the aerospace, civil and energy sectors can be life threatening for users/passengers and financially catastrophic for operators and the manufacturer. This is the main reason for which critical structures (i.e. aircrafts, wind turbines etc.) spend large part of their lifecycle under inspection with the accompanied costs being significant. On-line detection and characterization of minor failures within complex (composite ...
