Test Requirements

The work presented here explored the detrimental consequences that resulted when mechanical impedance effects were not considered in relating vibration test requirements with field measurements. The ways in which these effects can be considered were evaluated, and comparison of three impedance methods was accomplished based on a cumulative damage criterion. A test structure was used to simulate an equipment and support foundation system. Detailed finite element analysis was performed to aid in computation of cumulative damage totals. The results indicate that mechanical impedance methods can be effectively used to reproduce the field vibration environment in a laboratory test. The establishment of validated computer models, coupled with laboratory impedance measurements, can eliminate the overtesting problems inherent with constant motion, infinite impedance testing strategies.

Debonding Detection

The present article addresses the evaluation of the electro-mechanical (E/M) impedance method as a Structure Health Monitoring (SHM) method to detect and classify damage, more specific, the debonding of a face layer.In the study the considered structure is simplified as a circular sandwich panel of constant thickness, consisting of isotropic face layers and a honeycomb core.The debonding is assumed to be circular and situated at the center of the panel, only variable in its radius.The article starts with a brief introduction to the basic idea of SHM and the fundamentals of the E/M impedance method.Further, the idealized setting is investigated by two sets of experiments whose results are analyzed by typically used damage metrics and by considering both analytical and numerical models.A coupled-field FEM model is developed and compared to the experimental results.Furthermore, an analytical model is derived to evaluate the experimental and numerical results.All results are presented and discussed extensively on pursuing the objective to detect and classify the size of a debonding.Finally, it is shown how a model based approach can predict the presence but also the size of a debonding in the considered sandwich panels based on the E/M impedance measurements.
