X Abstract

The development of automatic guided wave interpretation for detecting corrosion in aluminum aircraft structural stringers is described. The dynamic wavelet fingerprint technique (DWFT) is used to render the guided wave mode information in two-dimensional binary images. Automatic algorithms then extract DWFT features that correspond to the distorted arrival times of the guided wave modes of interest, which give insight into changes of the structure in the propagation path. To better understand how the guided wave modes propagate through real structures, parallel-processing elastic wave simulations using the finite integration technique (EFIT) has been performed. Three-dimensional (3D) simulations are used to examine models too complex for analytical solutions. They produce informative visualizations of the guided wave modes in the structures and mimic the output from sensors placed in the simulation space. Using the previously developed mode extraction algorithms, the 3D EFIT results are compared directly to their experimental counterparts.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
