Abstract
Continuous fiber-reinforced composite materials are increasingly used because they meet high performance standards associated to light weight. Recent-generation aircrafts make extensive use of composite materials for their primary structure [1]. There is also a strong interest in the automotive industry to reduce the mass of the components and consequently the fuel consumption of vehicles [2, 3]. However, this composite material potential comes with prices to pay. In particular, the good mechanical properties of the composite request that the manufacturing process is of high quality or put in another way that the manufactured part is defect-free or at least that it contains as few defects as possible.
