Abstract [eng] Due to their excellent mechanical performance, the use of carbon fiber
composites has been growing in recent decades. However, the largescale development of
these materials depends on the improvements of the processes during the various stages of
their whole life cycle (producing, forming, assembly, inspection, recycling). At various stages
of the life cycle of the material, non-destructive testing (NDT) methods can be used to
characterize the health state of the material. They play a vital role in the quality control and …
