    Abstract:
    This study aimed to assess the delamination detection in FMLs via the finite element (FE) simulations of Lamb wave propagation. An FE model of an FML specimen with [Al/902/Al/902/Al] layup was developed. Delamination damage of 10 and 25 mm diameters was induced between different layers of the FML specimen. The fundamental antisymmetric Lamb wave mode (A0) at 60 kHz and the fundamental symmetric Lamb wave mode (S0) at the frequency of 206 kHz were propagated on the developed FE models. The Lamb wave phase velocity was obtained from the FE models and compared with those obtained from the Lamb wave propagation tests. The sensitivity of the A0 and S0 Lamb wave modes to the delamination and its diameter were examined. The inverse Lamb wave propagation problem was then solved, and the elastic modulus of the FML specimen was estimated in the intact and delamination regions. It was observed that the phase velocity of the S0 Lamb wave mode had a higher sensitivity to the delamination damage compared to that of the A0 Lamb wave mode. The phase velocity of the A0 Lamb wave mode was more sensitive to the delamination diameter. The capability of the proposed simulated Lamb wave propagation method as a virtual lab for detecting delamination in the FMLs was confirmed.
