Abstract

Carbon fiber reinforced composites are often used for applications in the aerospace, defense, and automotive industries. To safely engineer these components, non-destructive inspection techniques are necessary for qualification and damage assessment. Nanofocus computed tomography was used to investigate barely visible impact damage in CFRP’s and results were compared to ultrasonic inspections. Nanofocus CT inspection revealed details about delamination, matrix cracking, and extent of damage in impacted CFRP’s not seen with other techniques.
