Comparative performance of high and medium resolution cameras for defect detection in carbon-fiber reinforced composites by digital shearography

The performance of defect detection in composite materials using digital shearography is important for correct decision-making in non-destructive testing. In this work, we compared a high-resolution 24-megapixel digital still camera (DSLR) and a conventional medium-resolution 5-megapixel camera to determine the detectability of blind holes in...

Post peel test assessment of metal-metal bonded interface using hyperspectral imaging

The adhesion process of bonded structures is a very sensitive manufacturing process, namely to surface contaminations. Nowadays, the adhesion quality of bonded joints can only be detected by destructive testing such as peel tests. But, for actual structures destructive testing of every bonded part is obviously not an option and industry is...
