Fiber-reinforced polymer composites have excellent mechanical properties and outstanding
development potential and are cost-effective. They have increasingly been used in …

Pulsed thermography is a contactless and rapid non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technique
that is widely used for the inspection of fibre reinforced plastic composites. However, pulsed …

Terahertz (THz) imaging is increasingly used in the cultural heritage field. In particular,
continuous wave (CW) and low frequency THz is attracting more attention. The first …

In this Review, the main techniques of the photothermal radiometry family with their varieties
(modulated and pulsed photothermal radiometry and infrared photocarrier radiometry) and …

In this paper, experimental studies on the ballistic impact behaviour of nanomodified glass
fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) are reported. The epoxy matrix of the GFRP was modified …

Delamination is inevitable during either fabrication or service of a carbon fiber reinforced
polymer (CFRP) component. These flaws are major degradation phenomena that are …

Infrared thermography (IRT), is one of the most interesting techniques to identify different
kinds of defects, such as delamination and damage existing for quality management of …

Pulsed phase thermography (PPT) is a well-established algorithm used for processing
thermographic data in frequency domain with the aim to extract information about the defect …

Impact damage, caused by low-energy impact, is inevitable during the whole life time of
carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) material. However, the barely visible impact damage …

Active infrared thermography is an attractive and reliable technique used for the non-
destructive evaluation of various materials and structures, because it enables non-contact …
