These changes can be precisely localized and further characterized in order to classify the types of defect. The results show that the time of flight information is particularly sensitive to changes in the complex fiber and polymer matrix network. They can be visualized and quantified with B- and C-scans. Thanks to the ultrashort duration and high repetition rate of acquisition, the single shot technology is suited for the control of composites within cycle time of industrial production.","PeriodicalId":6577,"journal":{"name":"2015 40th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz waves (IRMMW-THz)","volume":"20 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74242840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
