NDI of Composite Materials.
Abstract
A review is given of NDI methods for fibre-reinforced composite materials such as carbon, boron, glass and KEVLAR. The capabilities of present methods such as ultrasonics, radiography, holography and thermography are evaluated for defect detection. In addition, techniques which show promise of development as predictors of failure, e.g., vibration measurement and acoustic emission, are examined. (Author)
