Abstract

Glass fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRPs) are the most commonly used in making chemical tanks and high-pressurized vessels. The squared Pearson correlation coefficient (R 2) was applied to detect the small damages of GFRP. In this paper, we propose and evaluate a new way to detect small defects in GFRP parts based on ultrasonic full-waveform comparison. The general concept is that, as opposed to conventional ultrasonic testing where only the first arrival is used to determine a time of flight (TOF), the entire recorded waveform, including the Coda portion, is used.
