A method for the localization of damage in a CFRP plate using damping
- New damage location technique for composite laminate panels used in modern aircraft fuselages.
- Novel Experimental Modal Analysis method using modal damping factors to locate damage in composite laminates, using a reduced number of conventional transducers which is useful for industry.
- More sensitive approach to the detection of de-lamination in CFRPs.
- Inspired the development of Modal Identification software currently used in the Technical University of Lisbon.
- Financially supported by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia and European Social Fund under III Community Support Framework.
- Ongoing work after paper’s publication resulted in International Journal publication
