The recent advances in scanning laser technology now allow a very accurate measurement of the displacement field, which in the case of undamaged structure must satisfy the fundamental equations of continuum mechanics everywhere. A violation of these equations at specific locations indicates the presence of the damage, which can be detected and sized by utilising a defect search algorithm.enCopyright status unknownDelaminationequilibriumgoverning differential equationlaminated compositelaser vibrometrySavitzky-Golay filterstrain compatibilityNew damage detection technique based on governing differential equations of continuum mechanics.
