The sub-terahertz (THz) frequency band has proved to be a noteworthy option for
nondestructive testing (NDT) of nonmetal aeronautics materials. Composite structures or …

This chapter gives a concise overview of potential industrial applications for terahertz
imaging that have been reported over the past decade with a discussion of the major …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to describe the full‐wave modelling of pulsed
terahertz systems utilized in non‐destructive testing. Design/methodology/approach–At the …

Fiberglass-reinforced composite coatings are widely used in the oil and gas industry to
extend the service life of metal pipes and tanks affected by corrosion. Since these coatings …

It is an increasing number of the applications of new materials in modern aircraft
manufacture, especially composites are largely used in some key parts, such as the rudder …

Experimental investigations have shown that terahertz pulsed imaging (TPI) is able to
quantitatively characterize a range of multilayered media (eg, biological issues …

In this paper, the generalized recursive formulations of the finite difference time domain
(FDTD) for updating the electric and magnetic fields in the multi-layer anisotropic media are …

It is difficult to monitor lightning damage to carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) online.
This work experimentally investigates the changes associated with the electrical resistance …

Fiber-reinforced composites offer a high strength to weight ratio alternative to metal
components, such as aluminum and steel, but final part properties rely heavily on the …

Due to its high strength and low weight, fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) is often used to
manufacture gas cylinders. However, impaction, striking, burning and maturing can all …
