| Abstract | ||||
| An overview is presented of destructive and nondestructive techniques that have been widely used to characterize impact damage in fibre reinforced composites. Particular emphasis is placed on in-depth study of the radiography and ultrasonic methods as the means of quantitative evaluation of internal damage in fibre composite structures. The operating principles of these techniques are described along with advantages and disadvantages in their applications. This paper highlights the chapter contributed by the author to the book. | ||||
