Abstract:
In a reverberant cavity, when a noise field is sufficiently diffuse, the correlation of the signal measured by two sensors provides an estimation of the Green's function (GF) between them. Here, the convergence of this passive estimation in the case of elastic waves on thin plates is studied. A statistical approach is proposed, which relates the similarity between the cross correlation and the GF to the structural properties of the plate and the number of uncorrelated sources. The analysis is sustained by experimental results obtained on an aluminum plate. This study allows us to evaluate the efficiency of passive structural health monitoring of plate-like structures based on noise correlation. Finally, a most interesting finding shows an absolute upper bound of the signal-to-noise ratio for GF quality reconstruction: 4Ns/5, independently of the plate properties.
