چکیده

ارزیابی غیرمخرب خواص مکانیکی و پایش سلامت سازه‌های کامپوزیتی از اهمیت بالایی برخوردار است. هدف از این پژوهش، ارایه یک روش ارزیابی غیرمخرب بر پایه گسترش امواج لمب برای بررسی آسیب ترک زمینه در کامپوزیت‌های لایه‌‌ای است. بدین منظور، پس از ایجاد مدل اجزای محدود یک کامپوزیت شیشه/اپوکسی، رفتار موج لمب در دو مود پادمتقارن (A0) و متقارن (S0) با فرکانس‌های تحریک مختلف مورد مطالعه قرار گرفت. سپس، نمودارهای پراکندگی مود A0 و S0 موج لمب با در نظر گرفتن چگالی ترک‌های متفاوت بدست آمدند. مشاهده شد که چگالی ترک زمینه و افت خواص مکانیکی کامپوزیت‌های متعامد بر روی سرعت مود S0 موج لمب بیشتر از سرعت مود A0 تاثیرگذار است. همچنین، تشخیص ترک زمینه به کمک افت سرعت موج لمب در فرکانس‌های بالا و نزدیک به فرکانس قطع دقیق‌تر انجام شد. مشاهده شد که با افزایش چگالی ترک، فرکانس قطع کاهش ‌یافت و همچنین با افزایش تعداد لایه‌های 90 درجه در کامپوزیت متعامد، افت سرعت موج لمب بیشتر شد. نتیجه‌گیری شد که‌ روش شبیه‌سازی گسترش امواج لمب می‌تواند به عنوان یک آزمایشگاه مجازی برای ارزیابی غیرمخرب کامپوزیت‌ها و تشخیص چگالی ترک‌ زمینه در آنها مورد استفاده قرار گیرد.

چکیده [English]

Nondestructive evaluation of mechanical properties and health monitoring of composite structures is of great importance. The aim of this research was to propose a nondestructive evaluation method based on the propagation of Lamb waves to investigate the matrix cracking damage in laminated cross-ply composites. For this purpose, after developing the finite element model of a glass/epoxy composite, the Lamb wave behavior was studied in two antisymmetric (A0) and symmetric (S0) modes with different excitation frequencies. The dispersion curves of the A0 and S0 modes of the Lamb wave are then obtained by considering different crack densities. It was observed that the effect of matrix crack density and the loss of mechanical properties of the cross-ply composites on the phase velocity of the S0 Lamb wave mode was higher than that of the A0 mode. Furthermore, the detection of matrix cracking was better performed using the Lamb wave velocity at high frequencies close to the cut-off frequency. It was observed that the cut-off frequency decreased by increasing the crack density, and the drop in the Lamb wave velocity increased by increasing the number of 90° layers in the cross-ply composite. It was concluded that the Lamb wave propagation simulation method can be used as a virtual laboratory for nondestructive evaluation of composites and detection of matrix crack density in them.
