Non-destructive monitoring of delamination healing of a CFRP composite with a thermoplastic ionomer interlayer KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
© 2017 Elsevier Ltd A comparative study is performed on the monitoring of delamination healing in CFRP-ionomer sandwich composites by non-destructive techniques and destructive compression testing. Artificial delaminations of various areal dimensions and nature were introduced during production of the composites. The extent of the delamination and the healing thereof was monitored in both air and water-coupled ultrasonic C-scan experiments as ...
