Abstract

Coatings play a crucial role in protecting ships and marine structures from corrosion and extending their service life. The reliability of these coatings depends on their proper maintenance, which in turn, relies on the application of reliable diagnostic techniques. Non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques are useful in material diagnostics, such as detecting debonded zone in water. However, the challenging access environment in the ocean, and the high attenuation characteristics of the material itself add too many technical challenges. In this paper, we propose a guided wave-based technique for characterizing the bonded zone state of coatings, which uses FFT analysis in different bonded zone states. The proposed technique has been demonstrated to be effective in characterizing the bonded zone state of water coatings through numerical and experimental results.
