| Abstract [eng] |
In this thesis, the set of novel ultrasonic signal analysis and interpretation methods, which are mandatory in order to properly analyse the complex behaviour of guided waves, to extract the features of detected damage and to validate the monitoring system, were proposed. These methods aim to solve the key problems in the field of guided wave structural health monitoring. The methods proposed in this research creates a framework for the guided wave based structural health monitoring system, that can predict the complex mechanism of guided wave generation; analyse multi-modal propagation; decompose guided wave signals captured on plate-like anisotropic structures; detect and describe the delamination type defects and validate the correctness of the inspection system upon installation to an in-service structure. |
