This comprehensive book offers a detailed exploration of the most widely employed nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques for the examination and evaluation of fiber-reinforced composite structures, encompassing both manufacturing and service stages. To enhance the comprehension and practical application of the diverse NDT methods presented, the book begins by providing essential insights into the defects and material degradation mechanisms commonly observed in fiber-reinforced composite structures, along with their general description and the most likely causes. Drawing upon the extensive scientific research and engineering expertise of the authors, who possess backgrounds in various fields such as electrical, mechanical, materials, civil, and biomedical engineering, the book establishes a robust foundation for NDT of fiber-reinforced composite structures. It emphasizes the significance of spatial resolution, integrated systems analysis, and the influence of the applicability of NDT and the physical characteristics of test structures on the selection and effective utilization of appropriate NDT techniques.

The primary target audience of this book includes students with a keen interest in NDT of fiber-reinforced composite structures, researchers actively investigating the applicability of diverse NDT techniques to structural system inspections, and NDT researchers and engineers engaged in optimizing NDT systems for specific applications involving the use of fiber-reinforced composite structures.

By presenting a comprehensive and rigorous approach, this book serves as a valuable resource for professionals and scholars in the field of NDT, providing them with the necessary knowledge and tools to effectively evaluate and maintain the integrity of fiber-reinforced composite structures.
