Abstract

This paper presents an electromagnetic approach for process monitoring of adhesive bonds between composites that overcomes some of the limitations of ultrasonic testing techniques. An online imaging system was developed using a 2D electromagnetic sensor array and computer interface. Sensor configurations for imaging ferrite-doped adhesives used during composite manufacturing were optimized with finite element modeling and tested with experimental measurements on glass composite, adhesively bonded wind blade structures.
