Evaluation of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites Using Non Destructive Testing: an Overview

EasyChair Preprint 7795

Abstract

Composite materials are able to substitute conventional structural steel due to its numerous advantageous properties. However, they suffer from one of the major drawback that is damages caused due to different impact events. The damages occur beneath the surfaces which are not visible to the naked eye. The damage progresses slowly and ultimately leads to catastrophic failure. It is very much essential to understand the damage and failure mechanism of advanced composite materials in order to obtain cost-effective, durable and reliable design components. Therefore, it is essential to determine the parameters that influence the impact response. This paper focuses on the types of impact, factors influencing the impact, damages caused due to impact and evaluation of composites using different non-destructive techniques (NDT).

Keyphrases: Delamination, Low velocity impact, NDT Methods, impact damage, matrix damage
