Motivat ion –
Frequency Dependent Flaw Detect ion
365 – 390 kHz 390 – 403 kHz 403 - 415 kHz 415 - 428 kHz 428 - 440 kHz
5 Scans
Equal Setup
5 different center frequencies
The detectability of delaminations and
the outline of the f law is frequency
dependent
High Bandw idth Transducers could lead
to a better detection and sizing of
delaminations
Test object: Composite w ith delamination

Conclusion
A w ider bandw idth can be achieved w ith dice and f ill composites
Spectral analysis can be used as a contrast mechanism w ith high
bandw idth probes
The detection and sizing of delamination and f law s in composites
can be improved w ith this contrast mechanism
