DURIP- System to Characterize Damage Tolerance of Composites with Data-rich In-situ Nondestructive Inspection and Digital Twinning.

Abstract

High-performance lightweight materials and advanced experimental techniques are key items in DoD s vision of Materials Research Campaign toward 2030. [1]. Since its first significant use in commercial aircraft in the 1980s, lightweight composite material has advanced to be one of the most popular and vital classes of aerospace materials. Structural integrity and damage tolerance (SIDT) characterization for composites is of fundamental importance to the airworthiness certification. Damage and failure of composites are highly complex and nondestructive inspection (NDI) techniques are frequently used for characterizing the damage extents and morphologies, based on which the damage tolerance characteristics of composites are evaluated. In recent years, two trends of damage tolerance testing with NDI have received fast-increasing attention.
