Research abstract
To reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency, bonded composites are being used in aircraft structures. Once a structure is assembled, there is no conventional NDI method available to assure that the strength of the bond is adequate for service. This program will develop processing heads and inspection techniques that will 1) allow the NDI of joints in remote locations accessible only through small access ports, 2) interrogate layered assemblies, and 3) develop techniques for inspection of thin plate structures.
