Theory of ultrasonic diffraction by damage developed in thin laminated composites

This thesis provides a general theory of the diffraction of ultrasonic waves. The theory is then used to find the apparent attenuation which would result if certain damage states (transverse cracks and delaminations) are introduced into a graphite/epoxy laminate through which the ultrasonic wave pas...
