Non-Destructive Testing and Inspection Applied to Composite Materials and Structures,
Abstract
The two contributions contained in this report deal with non-destructive testing applied to specimens and structural parts made of composite materials. In the first paper, some aspects of various inspection methods such as ultrasonics, radiography, eddy current and acoustic emission techniques applied to carbon fiber composites are described in connection with a discussion of possible failure mechanisms, especially in fatigue. The second paper shows the possibilities and limitations of NDI applied to the quality control of a primary structural part made of boron composite. (Author-PL)
