The porosity of carbon fibre-reinforced polymers is a very important topic for the practical
applications of this material since there is a direct correlation between porosity and …

Nanoparticle dispersion is widely recognised as a challenge in polymer nanocomposites
fabrication. The dispersion quality can affect the physical and thermomechanical properties …

In this work active thermography was successfully applied as a quantitative method for the
non-destructive evaluation of porosity in carbon fiber reinforced polymers. Results showed …

Featured Application It is demonstrated that a line scan thermography (LST) system using a
microbolometer camera can be used for the detection of porosity and impact damage in …

It is a fact that the presence of porosity in composites has detrimental effects on their
mechanical properties. Then, due to the high probability of void formation during …

Assessing material porosity in composites is critical because pores can greatly affect
material strength and lifetime. Ultrasound (US) is one of the primarily methods to quantify …

In this paper, we propose a new parameter estimation and image reconstruction approach
for the photothermal testing of composite materials. Therefore, the full multidimensional …

This paper describes the application of active pulsed Thermography (PT) as a Non-
Destructive Test (NDT) method for the investigation of CFRP aeronautical components. The …

Porosity is an unavoidable defect in carbon fiber reinforced polymers and has noticeable
effects on mechanical properties since gas filled voids weaken the epoxy matrix. Pulsed …

This chapter is concerned with the application of infrared thermography to investigate
composite materials, which are used for the fabrication of aerospace components, and is …
