Abstract
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and an apparatus for non-destructively assessing composites. The behavior of propagating elastic waves through a structure can provide significant information on the structure and has thus been studied extensively for development of structural monitoring techniques. In thin plates guided waves can develop, which are inherently dispersive, with highly material dependent dispersion characteristics. The identification of the different parameters within a laminate that may affect their mechanical properties is an important step in the assessment of laminate structures.
