Philosophy for nondestructive testing of fiber composites
A discussion of a nondestructive testing philosophy for fiber composites is presented. The position is taken that the nondestructive test indications must be quantitatively correlated to the required engineering performance properties of the composite article. The currently unknown defect strcture in many fiber composites is discussed with respect to nondestructive testing. A few examples from the literature of the above described quantitative nondestructive testing of fiber composites are presented from the fields of acoustic emission and ultrasonics.
