Abstract

The development of a nondestructive evaluation method for assessing the extent of adhesive joint degradation due to corrosion is described. Experimental results for bonded 2024 T3 aluminum and degraded in a salt fog environment (140 F and 100% humidity) for 60 days are presented. Advanced signal analysis has been used to extract physically meaningful information from signals detecting ultrasonic plate wave propagation. This approach offers potential for monitoring of areas where access is limited, or continuous monitoring of critical components is desirable.
