Abstract

A nondestructive bond strength testing method, including: coupling an expendable device to a structure under test, the expendable device including a patterned planar array of exploding bridge wires; simultaneously vaporizing the patterned planar array of exploding bridge wires by applying a pulse of electrical energy to the patterned planar array of exploding bridge wires; and sensing an initial disbonding signature of the structure under test.
