Due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, fiber reinforced polymer composites are finding growing applications in aerospace, automotive, infrastructure and other structural systems. Fiber reinforced polymer composites provide distinctly high tensile strength and modulus, which…

This thesis investigates the development of ultrasonic Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems, based on guided waves propagation, for the localization of low-velocity impacts and the detection of damage mechanisms in isotropic and anisotropic structures. For the identi- cati…
