Abstract
A health monitoring technique is presented for on-site particle tagging non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of a full-scale structural element of advanced composites. Conventional non-destructive evaluation methods are not very effective in monitoring the material conditions of advanced composite and adhesive joints. A technology that has been proposed to enhance the inspectability of advanced composites is the particle tagging technique (Rogers, et al., 1995), (Zhou, et al., 1995). This technique which has been previously demonstrated on small scale, laboratory samples (Rogers, et al., 1996(a)), (Rogers, et al., 1996(b)), (Giurgiutiu, et al., 1996) is now developed to scaled up on full-scale structural elements. The concepts for large scale tagged composite inspection build on the previously developed small scale concepts. The technique relies on comparing changes in local-area mechanical properties of the structure to identify damage. Unlike conventional passive tagging NDE inspection, ...
