Nondestructive Evaluation of Mechanically Loaded Advanced Marine Composite Structures

Abstract:

Marine composite structures subject to dynamic loading typically incorporate more than one material type, and consist of laminate sections up to hundreds of millimetres in thickness. These solid hybrid laminates exhibit different behaviour in static and fatigue loading from thin aerospace composite laminates and sandwich structures. There is therefore a need to better understand the likely damage and degradation mechanisms that will occur in these thick structures and to concurrently develop nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technology to meet the consequent inspection problems. In this paper we present details of an ongoing fatigue program on marine composite blades. The challenges for ultrasonic NDE of thick composites, and emerging inspection methods using state-of-the-art inspection systems and analysis tools will be discussed.
