Ultrasonic air-coupled testing of square-shape CFRP composite rods by means of guided waves
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of guided wave propagation along a square-shape carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) rod in the case of contactless excitation/reception and interaction with region of multiple delaminations were investigated.
Ultrasonic NDT of wind turbine blades using contact pulse-echo immersion testing with moving water container
TL;DR: In this paper, the ultrasonic contact pulse-echo immersion testing with moving water container has been selected for inspection of wind turbine blades, because this type of inspection can be performed having access just from the one side of the wind turbine blade.
Ultrasonic NDT of wind turbine blades using guided waves
TL;DR: In this article, an ultrasonic air-coupled technique using guided waves has been selected for inspection of wind turbine blades, because only one side access is enough and no contact is needed.
