Book Description
This study expands on the work of ElHajjar and HajAli (2003) on a quantitative thermoelastic strain analysis method for composite materials. Computational models for various prepreg and thicksection composites are validated with experiments using this quantitative strain analysis method. This study provides this thermomechanical calibrations for prepreg S2glass/epoxy, Carbon/epoxy, and pultruded Eglass/polyester. A research collaboration with the Institute of Paper Science and Technology (IPST) focused on infrared thermography for defect detection in wood and fibrous materials and structural systems. This study provides some detailed information on various testing setups for fiber and corrugated board systems to analyze anomalies and manufacturing defects. Quantitative infrared thermography is suggested as a preferred method for assessing the bond quality in corrugated paper systems. Methods for tracking fullfield thermal data during fatigue have been developed for FRP composites. The temperature changes on the surface of an FRP composite caused by damage during fatigue are tracked and thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) technique is developed to relate the surface deformation to the IR emission. Infrared thermography is developed for fatigue damage detection in FRP composites with stochastic methods for analyzing this fullfield data. Future damage detection techniques in aging aircraft will require quantitative and noncontact nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods especially for composite components. Infrared (IR) thermograpy techniques are qualitatively used to assess and indirectly infer the durability of structural systems. A research collaboration with Lockheed Martin for nondestructive evaluation of composite lap shear joints led to a development of thermoelastic stress analysis techniques for evaluation aerospace structures. Infrared thermography is used to investigate failure initiation and progression in composite lap shear joints.

Book Description
Many studies with Thermoelastic Stress Analysis (TSA) and Infrared Thermography, in Fiber Reinforced Polymeric materials (FRPs), are concerned with surface detection of "hot spots" in order to locate and infer damage. Such experimental analyses usually yield qualitative relations where correlations between stress state and damage severity cannot be obtained. This study introduces quantitative experimental methodologies for TSA and Digital Image Correlation to expand the use of remote sensing technologies for static behavior, static damage initiation detection, and fatigue damage in FRPs. Three major experimental studies are conducted and coupled with nonlinear anisotropic material modeling: static and TSA of hybrid bio-composite material systems, a new stochastic model for fatigue damage of FRPs, and fracture analysis for FRP single-lap joints. Experimental calibration techniques are developed to validate the proposed macromechanical and micromechanical nonlinear anisotropic modeling frameworks under multi-axial states of stress. The High Fidelity Generalized Method of Cells (HFGMC) is a sophisticated micromechanical model developed for analysis of multi-phase composites with nonlinear elastic and elastoplastic constituents is employed in this study to analyze hybrid bio-composites. Macro-mechanical nonlinear anisotropic models and a linear orthotropic model for fracture behavior using the Extended Finite Element method (XFEM) are also considered and compared with the HFGMC method. While micromechanical and FE results provide helpful results for correlating with quasi-static behavior, analyzing damage progression after damage initiation is not straightforward and involves severe energy dissipation, especially with increasing damage progression. This is especially true for fatigue damage evolution, such as that of composite joints as it is associated with uncertainty and randomness. Towards that goal, stochastic Markov Chain fatigue damage models are used to predict cumulative damage with the new damage indices proposed using full-field TSA image analysis algorithms developed for continuously acquired measurements during fatigue loading of S2-Glass/E733FR unidirectional single-lap joints. Static damage initiation is also investigated experimentally with TSA in single-lap joints with thick adherends providing for new design limitations. The computational modeling, stochastic and experimental methods developed in this study have a wide range of applications for static, fracture and fatigue damage of different FRP material and structural systems.

Book Description
This book presents a detailed description of the most common nondestructive testing(NDT) techniques used for the testing and evaluation fiber-reinforced composite structures, during manufacturing and/or in service stages. In order to facilitate the understanding and the utility of the different NDT techniques presented, the book first provides some information regarding the defects and material degradation mechanisms observed in fiber-reinforced composite structures as well as their general description and most probable causes. It is written based on the extensive scientific research and engineering backgrounds of the authors in the NDT and structural health monitoring (SHM) of structural systems from various areas including electrical, mechanical, materials, civil and biomedical engineering. Pursuing a rigorous approach, the book establishes a fundamental framework for the NDT of fiber-reinforced composite structures, while emphasizing on the importance of technique’s spatial resolution, integrated systems analysis and the significance of the influence stemming from the applicability of the NDT and the physical parameters of the test structures in the selection and utilization of adequate NDT techniques. The book is intended for students who are interested in the NDT of fiber-reinforced composite structures, researchers investigating the applicability of different NDT techniques to the inspections of structural systems, and NDT researchers and engineers working on the optimization of NDT systems for specific applications involving the use of fiber-reinforced composite structures.
