Abstract an
Bonded composite structures are the special type of sandwich-like structures in which multiple
dM
29 carbon-fibre laminates are bonded with adhesives, and debonding can appear at the bond-layer due
30
31 to variable loading and uncertain operating conditions. This study aims to investigate debonding
32
33 effects on Lamb wave propagation in a bonded composite structure under variable ambient
34 temperature conditions. In the process, a combined theoretical analysis, time-domain spectral
35
36 element simulation, and experimental analysis of elastic wave propagation in a carbon-fibre
37
38 reinforced adhesively-bonded composite structure have been carried out. It is shown that
pte

39
theoretical analysis and spectral formulation are effectively able to capture the behaviour of Lamb
40
41 modes in the healthy structure due to variations in ambient temperature. It is found that the primary
42
43 anti-symmetric Lamb wave mode amplitude and velocity decrease with an increase in ambient
44
45 temperature. Further, the spectral formulation accurately captures the effects of debonding on the
46 Lamb wave signals under variable temperature conditions that are consistent with the experimental
ce

47
48 results. Finally, temperature correction factors are proposed for the primary anti-symmetric mode
49
50 velocity and amplitude difference calculations and the effectiveness of the factors are verified
51
52
successfully for selected study cases.

pt
5 Carbon-fibre composite structures are widely used in Marine, Automobile, and Aeronautic
6
7 industries due to their high energy-absorption capacity, fire-resistance, high stiffness-to-weight
8
9
ratio, effective acoustic-insulation, construction flexibilities, and lightweight advantages [1-4]. In

cri
10 some specialised applications, sandwich-like Bonded Composite Structure (BCS) made of
11
12 multiple pre-fabricated carbon-fibre laminates bonded with epoxy adhesive is used. However, due
13
14 to cyclic-loading, impact, ageing, and improper handling, debonding can occur at the bonded
15
junctions which may lead to a sudden structural failure [4-6]. Hence, it is important to identify
16

us
17 these debonding regions in such bonded structures effectively. Many researchers [4-9] focused on
18
19 the detection and mitigation of hidden defects at an early-stage before they propagate further and
20
21 lead to catastrophic structural failures. The ultrasonic guided wave (such as- Lamb wave)
22

28
an
propagation based structural health monitoring (SHM) of multi-layered composite structures has
shown the potential in localisation and characterization of such hidden structural
defects/discontinuities due to their long-distance monitoring potential and sensitivity to small
defects in [5,7-15]. The current SHM strategies involve the deployment of cost-effective, thin and
dM
29 lightweight bonded piezoelectric transducers or broadband transducers [5,7,9]. The knowledge on
30
31 dispersion phenomenon of the propagating Lamb waves in the structure is referred to be significant
32
33 for the success of SHM of composites using piezoelectric transducers [5,9,10,11,16]. Moreover,
34 knowledge of temperature effects on the Lamb wave propagation through such debonding regions
35
36 is also important, as the change in ambient temperature may significantly affect the SHM strategies
37
38 [17-22].

Theoretical study on elastic wave propagation in a layered medium is presented by several
41 authors [23-27]. An analytical formulation of elastic wave propagation in sandwich plates under
42
43 specified conditions was presented in [23]. Higher-order theoretical wave propagation
44
45 formulations based on some prior kinematic-assumptions are also proposed for sandwich beams
46
[25-27]. A Thomson–Haskell method based on 2D theoretical model was formulated to calculate
ce

47
48 the dispersion, stress, displacement, and energy distributions of Lamb wave modes [28]. These
49
50 semi-analytical analysis results were only restricted to the frequency-wavenumber domain. A
51
52 global-matrix method based theoretical formulation was presented in [29]. It was shown that the
Ac

53 results obtained from this formulation are free from numerical instabilities in the high-frequency

3 range. The formulation was further extended for the solution of 2D response problems in a three-
4

pt
5 layer composite sandwich panel [30].
6
7 Many authors [9,31,32] presented the finite element method (FEM) based simulations of
8
9
elastic wave propagation in composite structures. In [33], the time-domain spectral element (SE)

cri
10 method based simulation technique was introduced that unites the flexibility of FEM and fast
11
12 convergence of spectral methods. A study on the advantages of higher-order FEM based
13
14 simulation techniques for solving elastodynamic problems was described in [34]. A relatively finer
15
discretisation (at least 15-nodes per wavelength) is required in case of FEM based simulations,
16

us
17 whereas, only 8-nodes per wavelength are required for the SE simulations. An appropriate node-
18
19 distribution in spectral-elements leads to the formation of diagonal elemental inertia-matrices and
20
21 controls the oscillations on the end of the element [35]. The SE simulation has the potential to
22
23
24
25
26
27
28
an
effectively solve the Lamb wave propagation problems in multi-layered structures [36-38]. In [39],
numerical integration operators which compose the stiffness and mass matrices of a modified SE
method were proposed for the numerical simulation of elastic wave propagation.
From the review of past literature, it is found that a very limited literature is available that
dM
29 deals with the temperature effects on Lamb wave propagation. Further, theoretical/numerical
30
31 studies on elastodynamic analysis of Lamb wave propagation in debonded BCSs subjected to
32
33 variable ambient temperature conditions are rather sparse. A theoretical dispersion analysis of
34 propagating Lamb waves, a series of time-domain three-dimensional (3D) SE simulation and
35
36 experimental analysis of Lamb wave propagation in a BCS under different temperature conditions
37
38 are presented in this paper. The SE simulation results in MATLAB are successfully verified with
pte

39
40
experiments using piezoelectric disc transducers (PDTs). In the numerical and experimental
41 signals, different Lamb wave modes are effectively identified using the theoretical dispersion
42
43 curve, which is obtained using a 2D semi-analytical model in FORTRAN. A 3D time-domain SE
44
45 simulation of Lamb wave propagation in a debonded BCS is carried out for different temperature
46
conditions, and the obtained simulation results are then successfully verified by conducting
ce

47
48 laboratory experiments using PDTs. It is envisaged that this research will help to understand the
49
50 debonding influence on the Lamb wave signals during SHM of BCS under variable temperature
51
52 conditions and would significantly guide the researchers to develop enhanced SHM strategies by
Ac

53 including appropriate temperature correction factors.

An advanced multi-channel data-acquisition-cum-signal-generator (DAQ) instrument is


dM
29
30 employed to generate and receive the user-defined Lamb wave signals through the PDTs mounted
31
32
on the plate surface. A detailed description of the configured laboratory experimental setup with
33 sample BCS bonded PDTs is shown in Figure 1(a). The PDT actuator-sensor path#1-2 is
34
35 considered as the debonding -influenced signal path as the signals directly pass through the
36
37 debonding region and the actuator-sensor path#3-4 is assumed to be the healthy signal path as this
38
path is away from the debonding location. In each PDT path, the sensor is located at a distance of
pte

39
40 150 mm from the actuator location. In order to perform the temperature dependent experiments, a
41
42 temperature controller has been used along with the configured experimental setup as shown in
43
44 Figure 1(b). The temperature controller enables to perform the experiments range of ambient
45 temperature conditions, i.e. 0o C, 20o C, 40o C, and 60o C for the sample BCS.

In the semi-analytical analysis, double integral transforms are performed for the calculation of

32 nodal displacements in the time-space domain. The formulations of the semi-analytical model are
33
34 briefly described here and the detailed formulation can be found in [30]. In the 2D formulation,
35

where ‘u’ represents the displacement components, ‘σ’ represents the stress components, ‘t’ is

53 as eigenvalue problem and for the non-trivial solution of the potential functions, the eigenvalues
54
55 are obtained as the functions of wavenumbers (k). Thus, the stresses and displacements in the

31 6.2. Analysis of debonding effects
32
33 The spectral element simulation results are obtained and a comparison of healthy and debonding-
34 influenced Lamb wave signals is shown in Figure 11(a). In the simulation signals, the A0 and S0
35
36 modes are effectively identified based on the semi-analytical response in Figure 10. Further, for a
37
38 better understanding of the debonding effects, the Hilbert-transform is performed on the signals in
pte

39
40
Figure 11(a) and presented in Figure 11(b). It is observed that the presence of debonding region in
41 the BCS slightly reduces the A0 wave mode amplitude. The amplitude reduction might have
42
43 happened due to a certain degree of energy-absorption at the debonding region, which may lead to
44
45 a higher dispersion and attenuation in A0 mode with respect to the S0 mode in the Lamb wave
46
signal at 100 kHz frequency. The debonding influence on Lamb wave propagation is clearly visible

43
In order to study the temperature effect on propagating Lamb waves in the BCS, the semi-
44 analytical analysis for the healthy condition, and the SE simulation and experimental analysis for
45
46 healthy and debonding conditions are carried out. In the semi-analytical analysis and SE
ce

47
48 simulations, the temperature dependent elastic material properties (ref. section 5) are used for the
49
BCS model to simulate different ambient temperature effects. The temperature effect on A0 mode

34 From the analysis of results, it is evident that the change in ambient temperature can significantly
35
36 influence the amplitude and/or velocity change based SHM strategies and may lead to anomalous
37
measurements if the material wise temperature-corrections are not included in these strategies.

39 Therefore, the study is further extended for temperature influence on SHM strategies. In order to
40
41 effectively identify the optimum debonding size and location in BCS by using the A0 mode
42
43 amplitude difference (healthy – debonding) based SHM strategies, a temperature correction factor
44 (CFTA) for different ambient temperature conditions is proposed as-

40 Further, the debonding size effects on the A0 mode amplitudes (Ref. Figure 14) in the propagating

50
51 (A0 and S0) for the structure considered in this work.

3 temperature. The increase in temperature also decreases the propagation velocity of the A0
4

pt
5 wave modes in the BCS.
6
7  It is found that the increase in debonding size leads to the reduction in A0 mode amplitudes
8
9 and the increase in ambient temperature further decreases the amplitudes.

cri
10  These temperature influences can potentially lead to an incorrect measurement for the popular
11
12 online SHM frameworks that work on the basis of amplitude and/or velocity difference of A0
13
14 modes in guided wave signals. Therefore, it is important to effectively adopt specific
15
16
temperature influence factors in such SHM strategies to improve accuracy and avoid

us
17 measurement anomalies during the inspection.
18
19  The proposed temperature correction factors have shown the effectiveness to minimize the
20
21 amplitude change difference for the given conditions and would significantly help to develop

27
28
an
enhanced SHM strategies for more precise identification of debonding in composite structures
under variable temperature conditions. A more detail investigation on higher order wave modes
and for a wide range of operating frequencies for a different type of composites would be the
future research scope to support the development of robust SHM strategies, which is an
dM
29
ongoing research by the authors.
