When we consider aircraft composite material evaluation, the material types and damages classification is critical to an accurate assessment and continued airworthiness.
Read more: Aircraft composite material evaluation – Material Types and Damages.You can see on the example that we have many distinct types of damage shows including
Type A = Delamination
Type B = Disbond
Type C = Core Damage
Type D = Delamination/disbonding impact damage
So, what’s Monolithic structure and Honeycomb Sandwich?
