An infiltration strategy to repair Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) parts

This paper presents a methodology to determine the damage levels of laminate carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) parts after controlled impacts. These techniques will be used to perform a re-infiltration technique to repair composite parts and to reduce maintenance costs. It will be included the manufacturing processes, material characterization and the application of the AITM-0010 standard. Also, it is propose the use of NDT Ultrasonic inspection to determine and characterized the degree of the damage measured. This NDT method uses an advanced pulse-echo technique that through allow exploration of different angles, shapes and positions of defects.
