A Novel Defect Estimation Approach in Wind Turbine Blades Based on Phase Velocity Variation of Ultrasonic Guided Waves

The reliability of the wind turbine blade (WTB) evaluation using a new criterion is presented in the work. Variation of the ultrasonic guided waves (UGW) phase velocity is proposed to be used as a new criterion for defect detection. Based on an intermediate value between the maximum and minimum valu...
