Abstract

It is well recognized that the ultrasonic methods is one of the most common and reliable nondestructive testing(NDT) methods for the quantitative estimation of defects in welded structures. However, NDT techniques applying for adhesively bonded joints have not been clearly established yet. In this paper, the detection of interface crack by the ultrasonic method was applied for the measurement of interfacial crack length in the adhesively bonded joints of double-cantilever beam(DCB). The optimum condition of transmission coefficients in the adhesively bonded joints and it's experimental accuracy by the ultrasonic method have been investigated. The experimental values are in good agreement with the computed results by boundary element method(BEM) and Ripling's equation.
