Ultrasonic Guided-Wave Data from Finite Element Models of Composite Beams with Damage

Numerical data from finite element model evaluations of ultrasonic guided waves in two carbon fiber composite beams with simulated damage. The dataset includes measurements for quasi-isotropic and cross-ply beams with transverse cracks and delaminations, respectively, under three signal-to-noise ratio conditions. The data was generated by Sergio Cantero‐Chinchilla at the University of Bristol.

Use Cases

• Training damage detection models based on ultrasonic guided-wave signals under different noise levels.
• Developing signal denoising algorithms based on the provided SNR 5 dB and 10 dB data.
• Benchmarking finite element model accuracy for simulating wave propagation in composite structures.
• Classifying damage types (crack vs. delamination) based on wave response features from the two beam configurations.

Strengths

• Includes data for two distinct composite beam structures with specified layups and dimensions.
• Provides measurements under three controlled noise conditions: noisefree, SNR 10 dB, and SNR 5 dB.
• Specifies precise simulation parameters, including excitation signal (100 kHz, 6-cycle Hanning window) and sensor location.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and overall dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
