“…This method, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 has been the topic of a number of studies and publications, and it often used high-frequency sound energy for inspection [1,3,6,20,32,38,56]. As due to some publications, the pulse echo (PE) technique is well-suited for GFRP/GRP inspections between 8 mm and 25 mm in thickness, with lower frequencies generally ranging between 0.25 and 2.25 MHz [29,50].…”

“…Before performing the tests, it may be required to calibrate the frequency of the transducer and other acoustic instrument parameters. Numerous articles and journals have emphasized, the material must be appropriate for sound transmission since the reflected pulses in GFRP/GRP have more complicated waveforms and are resistant to materials with significant anisotropy and acoustic attenuation [1,3,6,7,20,32,38].…”

“…In the present study, Arun Prakash et al, [1] used ultrasonic testing method to examine the mechanical properties of three different types of glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP/GRP) plates. Due to the anisotropic structure of GRP materials and composites, ultrasonic energy may be diminished as a result of significant acoustic attenuation.…”

Various industries are considering metal product in lieu composite materials. Structural engineers appreciate glass fibre reinforced plastic/polymer (GFRP/GRP) because to its high modulus of elasticity, ratio of strength to weight, and corrosion resistance features. It has been discovered that structural engineering defects to be leading cause for the catastrophic consequences. This paper provides an overview of available NDT methods that can be employed to assess the quality of GFRP/GRP composite materials. The most common NDT method used by researchers and practitioners is also discussed, along with the advantages, disadvantages, characteristics, and potential applications of these materials. The review will lead the research using ultrasonic testing as a potential method employing low-frequency transducers with multielement architecture. This study will lead industry players, GFRP/GRP manufacturers, researchers, and NDT practitioners towards the development of technical standards for ultrasonic testing on GFRP/GRP in Malaysia.
