Paper Abstract
Ultrasonic chaotic excitations combined with sensor prediction algorithms have shown the ability to identify incipient
damage (loss of preload) in a bolted joint. In this study we examine the capability of this damage detection scheme to
identify disbonds and poorly cured bonds in a composite-to-composite adhesive joint. The test structure consists of a
carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plate that has been bonded to a CFRP rectangular tube/spar with several sizes of
disbond as well as a poorly cured section. Each excitation signal is imparted to the CFRP plate through a macro-fiber
composite (MFC) patch on one side of the adhesive joint and sensed using an equivalent MFC patch on the opposite side
of the joint. A novel statistical classification feature is developed from information theory concepts of cross-prediction
and interdependence. Temperature dependence of this newly developed feature will also be examined.
