• TITLE: Common Type of Damages in Composites and Their Inspections

  AUTHORS: Amin Ghobadi

  KEYWORDS: Composites, Damage, Inspection, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE)

  ABSTRACT: This paper is a short introduction to the common type of damages in composite structures and different ways of their inspection. Due to the high increase of interest in composite materials in past decades and their usage in different structures, there is a need to discuss the damage types in them along with different ways of inspection. This paper provides a short review of these facts in order to fill out the gap that there is in the literature. Major emphasis is placed on the damage types and their mechanisms and inspection methods, mostly focused on wave propagation based structural health monitoring (SHM).
