- This study advances the field of 3D non-destructive characterization of lighter composite structures for Aerospace, Automotive and wind turbine applications. It aims at investigating the detection of wrinkles within these types of materials. Wrinkles are unfortunately a common defect that can cause composites structures to unexpectedly fail in service. Not all of the techniques allow full characterisation of wrinkles (out-of-plane waviness) for composite specimens. The effectiveness of the existing ultrasound methods is here investigated and compared. The advantages and limitations for using these methods are discussed to provide enough confidence to their use.
