Automated Analysis and Advanced Defect Characterisation from Ultrasonic
Scans of Composites
size: 2000 KB
At present the civil aerospace industry is undergoing its most rapid
period of change in history, due to the large-scale move from metal to
composite primary structures. This poses various challenges for the
non-destructive testing (NDT) community, which has, until now, coped
with the small amounts of civil-aircraft composite structure by adapting
NDT methods used on metals, or by spinning out military NDT methods. The
most immediate challenge is on the production line where, initially,
every square inch of composite primarystructure will be inspected at
manufacture.

Further Developments in UT Phased Array Inspection of Aging Aircraft
size: 1717 KB
The high performance imaging capability of ultrasonic phased arrays has
encouraged their recent widespread adoption for inspecting aircraft
components. A critical inspection on aging aircraft is the detection of
radial cracks around fasteners.
