Automatic defect depth estimation for ultrasonic testing in carbon fiber reinforced composites using deep learning

Xiaoying Cheng et al.

Summary: This work proposes an automatic signal classification method based on deep learning for depth estimation of low-velocity impact (LVI) damage in carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs). Three types of neural networks, LSTM, CNN, and CNNLSTM, are used to analyze the attributes at different depths and identify the depth information of impact damage. The results show that the CNN-LSTM model is more accurate in-depth classification for LVI defects in CFRP based on A-scan signals compared to the other two structures.

Wrinkle Detection in Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymers Using Linear Phase FIR-Filtered Ultrasonic Array Data

Tengfei Ma et al.

Summary: Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) are widely used in aerospace applications, but wrinkles often occur in large and complex parts, leading to severe damage to their mechanical performance. Wrinkles have weak echoes, making the total focusing method (TFM) vulnerable to noise. Our work focuses on designing discrete-time filters to reduce noise interference. We propose a wrinkle detection method using linear phase FIR-filtered ultrasonic array data, which can maintain the wrinkle geometry while reducing noise-induced dislocation. Four filters with different bandwidths have been designed and the 2 MHz bandwidth filter is recommended as the best choice.

Suppression of front and back surface reflections in ultrasonic analytic-signal responses from composites

Maria Zilidou et al.

Summary: Pulse-echo ultrasound testing is widely used in industry for inspecting composite materials, but the strong surface reflections often mask near-surface defects. This study proposes a method that utilizes the analytic signal and its instantaneous parameters to suppress the front-and back-surface reflections. The method has been tested and proven effective in improving detectability of defects and tracking of near-surface plies.
