Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) of Polymer Matrix Composites [Kõva köide]

Edited by (Professor, Departments of Civil Engineering, and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of Texas at Arlington, USA)
Twenty-five contributions address non-destructive evaluation and testing techniques with regard to monitoring structural health when polymer matrix composites are part of the picture, as they are, increasingly. Coverage encompasses the use of acoustic emission, eddy current, shearography, diaelectric measurements, ultrasound, microwave, fiber optic sensing, and infrared thermography techniques. Applications include adhesive bonds, sandwich panels, delamination defects, aerospace composites, and civil and marine structures. Karbhari, a seasoned expert in the field, is president of the U. of Texas at Arlington. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Non destructive evaluation (NDE) or non destructive testing (NDT) techniques are an essential tool in monitoring materials performance. This book reviews the use of NDE techniques to assess polymer matrix composites. Part one provides an overview of a range of NDE and NDT techniques including eddy current testing, shearography, ultrasonics, acoustic emission, and dielectrics. The middle sections highlight the use of NDE techniques for adhesively bonded applications and focus on NDE techniques for aerospace applications including the evaluation of aerospace composites for impact damage and flaw characterization. The conclusion explores the use of traditional and emerging NDE techniques in civil and marine applications.
