Defect Detection in Aerospace Sandwich Composite Panels Using Conductive Thermography and Contact Sensors

Defect Detection in Aerospace Sandwich Composite Panels Using Conductive Thermography and Contact Sensors

Sandwich panels consisting of two Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) outer skins and an aluminium honeycomb core are a common structure of surfaces on commercial aircraft due to the beneficial strength–weight ratio. Mechanical defects such as a crushed honeycomb core, dis-bonds and delaminations...
