Abstract
Interface debonding may happen in steel structures repaired or strengthened by Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP), which will reduce ultimate loads and fatigue life of the structures. In this paper, a non-destructive method to test the interface debonding using Lamb waves is proposed. The electromechanical finite element detection model of a steel plate strengthened by CFRP is constructed, and the results have good consistency with experimental results. The effects of debonding position and debonding degree on the received signals are discussed in this paper, the signal waves are analyzed by the wavelet time-frequency conversion method and wavelet packet analysis method, and the relationship between the signal waves and the debonding parameters are obtained, which could support the damage detection of the repaired or strengthened structures by CFRP in the future.
