Detection and Characterization of Damage in Quasi-Static Loaded Composite Structures using Passive Thermography

Detection and Characterization of Damage in Quasi-Static Loaded Composite Structures using Passive Thermography

Real-time nondestructive evaluation is critical during composites load testing. Of particular importance is the real time measurement of damage onset, growth, and ultimate failure. When newly formed damage is detected, the loading is stopped for further detailed characterization using ultrasound ins...
