Experimental implementation of extremely sensitive defect localisation techniques based on non-linear elastic wave spectroscopy and time reversal principles. KU Leuven
Nonlinear Elastic Wave Spectroscopy (NEWS) is a collection of recently developed diagnostic techniques to probe the presence of microdamage in materials at early stages in the damaging process. In order to precisely localize the damage inside a material, these methods should be combined with imaging techniques. This project's goal is to integrate modern damage detection techniques based on non-linear elasticity (NEWS) with principles of acoustic ...
