The primary peak amplitude appeared where expected, but there was also an unexpected secondary peak around 245ı. Further investigation revealed this secondary peak to be a small extra motion in the damage mechanism due to mechanical limitations in the construction of the damage. This extra signal in a simple test piece emphasizes the need for an accurate constitutive model of the test article. The test described above was repeated 10 times to gain some statistical information about the method with the results complied in Fig. 11.11.
