Abstract
Ongoing efforts related to the modeling of the ultrasonic inspection of impact damage in polymer matrix composite materials has necessitated the accurate measurement of elastic and attenuation properties in the material. Techniques for these measurements are well-documented in literature; however, some of the details related to integration of a forward modeling and inversion process with an experimental measurement are somewhat lacking in literature. This paper discusses progress toward development of a complete and fully integrated technique that quickly and simultaneously characterizes orthotropic elastic and attenuation properties in polymer matrix composite panels. Code is being developed, in Python, to implement the forward model and inverse process with the intent of release to the community as open-source.
