Challenge of Using NDT for Composite Materials

Abstract

This research involves the study of the composite materials its development and usage in the field of aviation industry and knowledge of the properties of these materials and types of defects and damage occur on composites materials at many stages of testing processing of Manufacturing and during service and how it can be tested by using traditional and new technology methods of NDT. In this research, focus will be on experimental testing of composites materials samples by using PT, UT, RT and thermography to identify the defects occur on it. After applying the above mentioned NDT methods on composites materials samples some defects and damage as (crack, erosion, moisture) are monitored and the best results acquired by theromgraphy method.
