Notes:
In particular, CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastics) composite materials have foundwide applicability because of their inherent design flexibility and improved material properties.CFRP composites were manufactured from uni-direction prepreg sheet in this paper. However,impacted composite structures have 50-75% less strength than undamaged structures. It is desirableto perform nondestructive evaluation to assess material properties and part defect in order to ensureproduct quality and structural integrity of CFRP. In this work, a CFRP composite material wasnondestructively characterized and a pitch-catch technique was developed to measure impacteddamagedarea using an automated-data acquisition system. Also one-sided mode was performed toscan defect both manual contact measurement and an immersion tank. It is found a pitch-catchsignal was found to be more sensitive than normal incidence backwall echo of longitudinal wave tosubtle flaw conditions in the composite, including fiber orientation, low level porosity, ply waviness,and cracks. The paper describes the depth of the sampling volume with the head-to-head miniatureRayleigh probes and also ultrasonic C-scan images are acquired experimentally using one-sidedmeasurement and a conventional scanner
