Abstract:A nondestructive technique would be very beneficial, which could be used to test the
CF/Epoxy composite laminates. A new method for nondestructively determining the ply layup in a
composite laminate is presented. A one-sided pitch-catch setup was used in the detection and
evaluation of flaws and material anomalies in the composite laminates. Two Rayleigh wave
transducers were joined head-to-head and used in the pitch-catch mode on the surface of the
composites. The pitch-catch signal was found to be more sensi… 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.
