Abstract:Nowadays composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP)s have been widely used in industrial applications. But, they are susceptible to impact damage and subsequent fatigue cracking and delamination which in long term lead to some negative consequences such as erosion and also breaking the material. Due to the inability to visually observe such defects and also the high sensitivity of industrial components to invasive inspections, non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques are used to deal w… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
