  text: The repair of carbon fibre reinforced polymer structures of aircraft is increasingly
    conducted on site. Monitoring the curing process of polymers has the potential
    to decrease repair costs by time optimisation and quality control. In this paper
    Lamb waves are utilised to determine the degree of cure. Waves are excited and
    recorded by two piezoelectric transducers, one serving as an actuator and the
    other as a sensor. The recorded signals are processed with a complex wavelet transform,
    which allows more accurate feature extraction than calculating features in time
    domain. Extracted features are the transmitted signal energy of the wave and the
    resonance frequency of the curing polymer. Waves are excited at different frequencies
    to identify the current resonance frequency. Excitation at or near the current
    resonant frequency ensures that curing is monitored with maximum sensitivity.

  text: On-site aircraft repairs are gaining in importance due to the susceptibility
    of carbon fibre reinforced polymers to damage. Repairs themselves are required
    to be inspected for quality, preferably cost- and time-efficiently. This paper
    presents an approach for the inspection of repaired composites based on guided
    Lamb waves. The focus is on cost-effective signal excitation and effective signal
    processing. Lamb waves are excited with piezoelectric transducers at the resonance
    frequency of the material under test. Measured signals are processed with a complex
    wavelet transform to improve damage detection. The proposed approach is evaluated
    on two test specimens, one of which has a defect in the adhesive bond.
