“…These types of flaws are frequently induced by several factors including internal stress release, poor material handling during the manufacturing process, water vaporization, burns from high temperatures, impact damage, etc. In this context, structural components made of GFRP composites such as wind turbine aerofoils, and hydrofoils for marine propulsors, as well as helicopter rotor blades, and aircraft auxiliary fuel tanks [4,5], must undergo extensive quality evaluation tests after the manufacturing process to ensure all defects are eliminated prior to being introduced into service and must continuously be monitored during operation to extend their service lives [2,6]. To achieve this goal while equally preserving the structural integrity of the test structure, nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) techniques must be used.…”
