State of composite material structure control in situ
Abstract
A review is given of methods available for the metallurgical control and NDT evaluations of composite materials with attention given to their limitations. Among the techniques examined are holography, acoustic emission, and extensometry. The development of automated ultrasonic control techniques is leading to more routine use in such industrial applications as aircraft fabrication.
