Abstract :
This paper describes an investigation into the feasibility of using an integrated system based on Lamb waves in order to assess the integrity of riveted aluminium joints during cyclical loading. An Acoustic Emission system is used jointly with the Lamb wave analysis in order to discuss about damage development. Finally, it is demonstrated that both methods can work together and that the results obtained are in good keeping
