Abstract

With the rapid development of aircraft industry, high performance composite and honeycomb components are widely used. Various defects, such as delamination or debonding in composites, will lead to structural failure even flight accidents. Effective nondestructive testing methods, therefore, must be used to inspect the composite and honeycomb components. The objective of this paper was to introduce the test theory and characteristics of laser shearography method, exhibit the structure and performance of typical shearography testing instrument, and show testing examples for aircraft composite and honeycomb components. The developing trend for laser shearography testing technology was directed at the end.
