Abstract

The quantitative assessment of both, the length and width, of a delamination in quasi-isotropic composite laminates, using experimentally generated B- and D-scan imaging techniques employing ultrasonic Lamb waves was presented. Distinct zones were identified in B- and D-scans and the sizes of zones were expressed in terms of the width and length of delamination, the probe separation distance, and the probe diameter. B-scans generated through numerical simulations gave an insight and significance of each zone. B- and D-scans were used to estimate the width and length of delaminations, respectively. The estimated width and length of delaminations were found to be in concurrence with the actual values.
