Abstract

Low-velocity impacts severely jeopardize the structural reliability of polymer composites. In view of this, a thorough evaluation of the impact damage of the polypropylene (PP) composites reinforced with an ecofriendly intraply flax/basalt hybrid fabric was performed based on infrared thermography (including pulsed thermography, linear scanning thermography) and terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) techniques. However, the main problem is the lack of multi-source fusion technique regarding more than two sensors, and the discussions regarding homologous fusion (pulsed thermography and linear scanning thermography), and non-homologous fusion (infrared thermography and THz-TDS). In this work, a comprehensive evaluation for the impact resistance of hybrid polymer composites was conducted, including detecting the uneven resin distribution and exploring new multi-sources fusion strategy. The experimental results demonstrate the superior capability of multi-source fusion techniques.

期刊介绍： NDT&E international publishes peer-reviewed results of original research and development in all categories of the fields of nondestructive testing and evaluation including ultrasonics, electromagnetics, radiography, optical and thermal methods. In addition to traditional NDE topics, the emerging technology area of inspection of civil structures and materials is also emphasized. The journal publishes original papers on research and development of new inspection techniques and methods, as well as on novel and innovative applications of established methods. Papers on NDE sensors and their applications both for inspection and process control, as well as papers describing novel NDE systems for structural health monitoring and their performance in industrial settings are also considered. Other regular features include international news, new equipment and a calendar of forthcoming worldwide meetings. This journal is listed in Current Contents.
