Defects composites: 100% composite-oriented ultrasonic data-analysis software

摘要

The ultrasonic non-destructive inspection of large composite panels and structures requires, further to the control itself, a lengthy system of analysis of the inspections results. Detection of defects in composites by ultrasonic pulse-echo inspection is based on the analysis of both attenuation and time-of-flight C-scan cartographies. Differences in amplitude, as well as differences in time-of-flight, can be the manifestation of porosity, inclusion, or delamination defects.
