Abstract
In this paper the probability of detection of fatigue cracks in complex aeronautical aluminum panels by a guided wave structural health monitoring system is evaluated. The effects of operating frequency and sensor positioning relative to the defect were quantified, and showed a marked influence on the results. Different methods of calculation of a damage index and their corresponding thresholds were considered, and their effect on the sensitivity of the system to the defects was also evaluated.
