内容記述 | The anisotropy of polar backscatter from graphite/epoxy composites is a potentially useful parameter for the characterization of porosity levels. However, the effects of release-cloth impressions on measured integrated polar backscatter levels are sufficient to inhibit the detection of porosity with this method. Recently, we developed a theoretical model to predict the frequency distribution of the backscattered power along the high-symmetry directions of release-cloth impressions. This study investigates experimentally the usefulness of limiting the bandwidth to regions not dominated by the scattering from the surface impressions, hence increasing the probability of detecting flaws such as porosity. |
