Most common types of defects for composite are debond and delamination. It is difficult to
detect the inner defects on a complex shaped specimen by using conventional optical …

Active thermography is an efficient and powerful technique for nondestructive testing of
products made of composite materials, which enables rapid inspection of large areas …

Thermographic data processing and analysis is critical for effective infrared thermography
non-destructive testing of defects in composite materials. In this research work, the concept …

In this work, damage sensing and self-healing of carbon fiber polypropylene (CFPP)/carbon
nanotube (CNT) nano-composite were performed based on addressable conducting …

Carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are replacing metals in fields such as aerospace
due to their high mechanical strength and low weight. They have an anisotropic behaviour …

Data analysis methods have been extensively used in active thermography for defect
identification. Among them, principal component thermography (PCT) is popular for …

Thermal wave imaging is a nondestructive testing (NDT) technology widely used to detect
defects for various materials. It is important for quality control purposes to be able to clearly …

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRPs) is a composite material that has substituted metal
alloys in many industrial fields. Non-destructive testing techniques are interesting inspection …

This article proposes an automatic approach for segmenting inclusion defects in composite
materials inspected by lock-in thermography (LT) in a heat source invariant way. In the …

In Image processing and computer vision, the optimization technique aims at producing
improved end result from a set of possible inputs. It is considered to be an exceptional …
