Volker, A.W.F. (author), VRolijk, J.W. (author), van der Burg, D.W. (author), van der Heiden, M.S. (author), Martina, Q.E.V.N. (author)Composite materials are becoming more popular in the aerospace industry, because of their physical properties. In quality assurance and in-service inspection, there is a need for fast, non-contact, high-quality, non-destructive inspection techniques. The most common approach is to perform the inspection using water-coupled high-frequency...article 2023
