This work aims to demonstrate the ability to evaluate bulk thermal aging of aeronautical
composite materials using Lamb waves. These composite materials are bi-dimensional
woven composite structures with polymers matrix. More than 20 different thermal aging
profiles are obtained by modulating the temperature and curing duration. The impact on
material properties is evaluated using normalized destructive characterization and x-ray
computed tomography. Lamb waves are generated and detected using a single 3 MHz …
