Technology Survey on NDT of Carbon-fiber Composites

Abstract

This is a report on non-destructive testing methods of carbonfiber composites. The methods discussed here comprise various ultrasonic, X-radiography and thermography methods; as well as laser shearography, eddy current testing and acoustic impact.

This report includes brief explanations of these methods together with a list of defect types where they can be used for detection. The report is part of NAKOMATE project. The project is funded by Interreg IV A North, Lapin liitto and Länsstyrelsen Norrbotten.
