Abstract
In this article, a comprehensive overview of microwaves-based non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques for carbon fibre- and glass fibre-reinforced polymer composites is presented. These lightweight composites have been widely employed in aerospace, naval, automotive, construction, electronics and wind energy industries. Monitoring the structural integrity is critical for the maintenance and repair of such heterogeneous composite structures. Traditional ultrasonic methods do not always identify defects or damage in such structures. In that case, microwave NDT techniques can provide a complementary modality. The microwave NDT has been adopted for material characterisation, quality assessment and damage detection. Wider applications will be expected, as more low-cost microwave components become commercially available.
期刊介绍：
Applied Composite Materials is an international journal dedicated to the publication of original full-length papers, review articles and short communications of the highest quality that advance the development and application of engineering composite materials. Its articles identify problems that limit the performance and reliability of the composite material and composite part; and propose solutions that lead to innovation in design and the successful exploitation and commercialization of composite materials across the widest spectrum of engineering uses. The main focus is on the quantitative descriptions of material systems and processing routes.
Coverage includes management of time-dependent changes in microscopic and macroscopic structure and its exploitation from the material''s conception through to its eventual obsolescence.
