Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates are widely used in aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy sectors thanks to their outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and durability. However, defects such as porosity can severely undermine their structural integrity. Detecting and quantifying … [Read more...]
ABSTRACT Automated Ultrasonic Testing (UT) plays a vital role in the aerospace industry, especially for inspecting large, complex composite parts and structures. One of the main challenges in ultrasonic inspection arises from the geometric variations of these parts, which affect ultrasonic wave … [Read more...]
AUTOMATED UT SYSTEMS The aviation industry is subject to many strict standards in terms of quality assurance and inspection of components and structures. Components that experience high levels of stress and environmental hazards should be cleared of any defects that would cause any potential … [Read more...]
Automated UT Systems require precise and thorough mechanical calibration to achieve a high degree of scanning accuracy, repeatability and stability. The versatility of these systems enables users to utilize different UT probes for various non-destructive testing applications. Due to minor … [Read more...]
The aviation industry depends significantly on Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) to ensure the structural integrity of critical aircraft components. While traditional NDT methods are effective, they can be time-consuming and susceptible to human error. The emergence of automated NDT technologies has … [Read more...]
