Popis: One of the axioms of structural health monitoring states that the severity of damage assessment can only be done in a learning mode under the supervision of an expert. Therefore, a numerical analysis was conducted to gain knowledge regarding the influence of the damage size on the propagation of elastic waves in a honeycomb sandwich composite panel. Core-skin debonding was considered as damage. For this purpose, a panel was modelled taking into account the real geometry of the honeycomb core using the time-domain spectral element method and two-dimensional elements. The presented model was compared with the homogenized model of the honeycomb core and validated in the experimental investigation. The result of the parametric study is a function of the influence of damage on the amplitude and energy of propagating waves.
