- This paper offers the first viable method for 3D-distribution mapping of porosity in composites, overcoming the restrictions caused by the inaccuracies of primitive through-thickness average ultrasonic porosity measurements, which hamper the optimal use of composites in aircraft. This will increase confidence in the manufactured components, leading to lighter-weight, leaner designs for greener aircraft. This EPSRC-funded work (EP/K037315/1) has led to i) an industrial contract with Rolls Royce to further develop the method for implementation on their composite fan blades where through-thickness measurements are not possible, and ii) a quantitative evaluation study within the UK Research Centre in NDE (RCNDE).
