Abstract


For two kinds of defects – delamination and transversal failure in the multilayer composite the damages detection method is proposed. The inverse geometrical problems of crack’s parameters reconstruction were formulated as a sequence of boundary integral equations (BIE). These boundary integral equations were derived on the basis of the principle of works mutuality applied to the problem of the composite specimen stationary oscillations. To solve the integral equations the finite element method, the boundary element method, and the Tikhonov regularization method were used. As complementary information for inverse problems solving the displacement field measured on a mechanical stress free area of the specimen’s surface was served. The numerical examples of the interfacial cracks and transversal failure of the internal layers in the multilayered composite were considered in the framework of two-dimensional elasticity.
