Defect and damage detection in filament wound carbon composite cylinders: A new numerical-experimental methodology based on vibrational analyses

Due to its high efficiency, carbon fibre reinforced composite materials are used in many applications, including aeronautical, automotive, and civil structures. A wide range of manufacturing processes are used in composites production and each of these processes is marked by many processing parameters. However, because of the variations that are inherent to the manufacturing method, the final properties of the structure can be strongly affected,...
