Destructive and non-destructive testing of composites for
design and manufacture
Early in the design cycle, the modelling and simulation of composite
components for use in demanding structural applications requires
a detailed knowledge of the properties of these anisotropic and
inhomogeneous materials. The determination of these properties
requires a wide range of mechanical tests, possibly over a range of
temperatures, on materials conditioned in a variety of different environments. Later in the design cycle, mechanical tests on composite
components are often employed to validate models by comparing
model predictions to measurements on prototypes.

uring manufacturing, various non-destructive inspection methods are employed to ensure that parts conform to
specifications and are free from significant
defects. One of the most exciting recent
developments in non-destructive testing is
the use of computerised tomography (CT)
- a technique that uses X-rays to produce a
3D representation of the internal structure
of an object. This 3D representation makes
it possible to quantify defects within a composite, allowing measurement of the size
and location of voids, the density and total
volume of voids, and the local/global fibre
orientation and concentration.

defect. In the first image, the intensity is proportional to the density and in the second
image, the density is colour coded. The CT
model can be manipulated in real-time 3D
and it is also possible to slice through in any
direction for internal inspection.

Determining material
properties for modelling and
simulation - static properties
Determining the static bulk properties of a
composite laminate requires a range of mechanical tests (tension, compression, shear
and flexure). In most cases, the properties of
interest are in-plane properties (in the same
plane as the lamination), but in some cases
the through-thickness properties (in a direction normal to the plane of the laminate) are
also required.
