Abstract

This paper presents the experimental investigation results of the use of the vibration method by impulse excitation of free flexural and longitudinal vibrations of composite materials. The purpose of the study is to establish the sensitivity of the method used for defect detection and localization. To realize the objective, rectangular notch-type defects were simulated at different distances and depths. The influence of the location and depth of the artificial cracks on the dynamic properties of the beams was investigated by measuring the natural frequencies of flexural and longitudinal vibrations. The conducted experiments show a change in the dynamic characteristics of the beam depending on the dimensions and location of the defects.
