Identification of the Local Stiffness Reduction of Damaged Composite Plates Using Full-Field Measurements

Abstract

Composite panels are prone to delamination damage caused by impact or manufacturing process. This results in a local loss of stiffness in the panel where the delamination has occurred. The present study aims at taking advantage of full-field measurements and inverse identification procedures to solve this problem. A deflectometry technique [1] is employed to perform full-field slope measurements. The curvatures are then obtained from the slopes by numerical differentiation. The deflectometry setup is shown in Fig. 1.
