In-situ Non-destructive Stiffness Assessment of FRC Materials

Fiber Reinforced Composite (FRC) materials are gaining great popularity in marine structures because of their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, low density, and provided freedom in the design process. However, the use of FRC materials comes along with relatively large uncertainties in material properties and structural integrity after...

Developing a level-1B qualifiable CNN for in-situ ultrasonic damage classification of aerospace composite structures: An in-depth evaluation on the end-to-end process of developing a data-driven tool

This paper examines the end-to-end development process for a Convolution Neural Network (CNN) based damage classification tool for ultrasonic inspection of aerospace-grade composite structures. The recent advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) has piqued the interest of the aerospace industry since it has the potential...
