Abstract

Nondestructive quality control of small-thickness composites is an important scientific and technical problem due to significant damage inflicted on materials even with minor impact loads. The stability of a 1-mm–thick CFRP composite to impact damage with an energy of up to 10 J has been investigated. Special attention has been paid to the analysis of the “visible” area of defects formed as a result of successive striking with increasing and decreasing energy in the range from 1 to 5 J. The area of defect indications was estimated by analyzing the images of vibrations at the surface of the composite produced by its acoustic stimulation and laser vibroscanning.
