Abstract
Automated fiber placement (AFP) is a commonly used manufacturing technique for large-scale polymer matrix composite (PMC) components. Given their nature, AFP systems are typically used to lay up large-scale components in production environments. As such, AFP-induced defects tend to arise over the course of any given build. The often-inconspicuous nature of these defects, coupled with an incomplete understanding of their consequences, represents...
