Purpose: The Non-Destructive Testing of Composites custom sector seeks to provide context for the IP space surrounding methods of non-destructive testing methods, specifically for laminate materials and including systems for detecting failure of materials and foreign objects, and to provide information for future strategy in the space.
Scope: This custom sector limits its scope to testing methods for composite structures such as laminates, including the devices used and related computer systems. By way of example, an included document may be one describing a device which asses bond integrity between layers of laminate. An example of a document which is not included may be a device which analyzes a machined surface finish.
