A phased array-based method for damage detection and localization in thin plates
The methodology has been demonstrated to work for a number of structures like e.g. plates, shells, beams and it was adopted and extended by teams from KULeuven, Belgium (H.Van.Brussel@kuleuven.ac.be) and Portugal (P.Ribeiro@up.pt), who acknowledge it as a “very useful development” in the field. The method is being extended for composite materials in joint research with a team from the University of Bologna and PZ6 Composites®, who recognize “its flexibility and deployment potential”( A.Zucchelli@unibo.it ) .
