Abstract: This paper aims at the invisible damage caused by low velocity impact in composites. A finite element model of mixing detection is established to predict the ultrasonic nonlinear mixing response of composites under different impact energy. The drop-weight impact test and RAM-5000 SNAP nonlinear ultrasonic testing system were used to study the interaction between nonlinear mixing Lamb waves and composites damaged with different impact energy, and the finite element model was compared and verified. The feasibility of detecting impact damage by mixing Lamb wave and the influence of different impact energy on the nonlinear coefficient of mixing Lamb wave sum frequency are discussed. The results show that mixing Lamb wave can be used to detect impact damage, and the sum frequency amplitude and sum frequency nonlinear coefficient increase with the increase of impact energy, and the sum frequency nonlinear coefficient can effectively evaluate the impact damage of composite plates.
