made of composite materials, which are specifically designed for the purpose of their application. Other than a precise knowledge of the characteristics of these materials, which often are anisotropic, quality control is of the essence. As said components, e.g. in aerospace, aircraft, wind energy or also boat industry are safety relevant, and also of great economic value, rapid defect recognition has to be carried out in production as well as in maintenance. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) techniques have already been successfully proven for accurate strain analysis. With the use of two cameras, three dimensional measurements of contours and displacements can be carried out. Rapid new developments in the field of digital imaging and computer technology, especially for very much dynamic applications, opens further applications for these measurement methods, e.g. in the fields of, material testing, fracture mechanics, advanced materials and component testing. The dynamic range is combined with the capability to measure very large strains (up to more than 100%). Examples of the strain analysis in different application are given. Shearography is a full field inspection technique, which is specifically suited to do fast defect detection. It is widely accepted as a reliable and fast inspection method especially designed for modern composite material. Different challenges are presented in production control and in maintenance specifically geared to aerospace industry.
11.45-12.15 Static and fatigue tests of hybrid and composite structures
Martin Semsch, IMA Materialforschung und Anwendungstechnik GmbH
12.15-12.45 Ultrasonic Testing Machines with Robot Mechanics - An new approach to CFRP component testing
Matthias Schwabe, Key Account Manager Aerospace, GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies
For a long time, Ultrasonic Testing Machines for Aerospace components have been built with 100% custom made mechanics (gantry or bridge design) to match customer needs. This 'legacy' design comes with several disadvantages like price, delivery time or lack of flexibility. This presentation describes and illustrates an alternative approach to design Testing Machines for the Aerospace industry. The pitch describes in detail the advantages of robot based mechanics and shows the abilities of today´s state of the art machine design to face CFRP component testing challenges. Last but not least, Phased Array testing with a dual robot system including squirter nozzles will be illustrated.

14.15-14.45 Improved Defect Detection in Complex Mechanical Structures
Robin Evans, Key Account Manager, GE Inspection Technologies
This presentation will cover a highly innovative method for the detection of cracks deep inside complex structures. Highly valuable assets such as gas turbines may suffer fatigue defects in service. The common method of visual inspection for in-service life extension and assessment has limitations. Normal visual methods can raise false calls leading to costly removal from service or missed defects causing catastrophic failure. A combination of videoprobe technology and innovative use of fluorescent dye penetrants has been developed and validated by a major OEM for use in on wing inspections. The process enhances the present methods significantly improving the validity of inspections. We will cover the application methods and validation process for this innovative inspection technique.
14.45-15.15 Industrial laser-ultrasonic systems for the inspection of composites
Jose Serrano, Project Manager, Tecnatom, S.A
A new industrial approach to laser-ultrasonic systems focused on aeronautic applications is now offered by Tecnatom S.A. This new approach is based on articulated robots making the inspection systems more compatible with new commercial aeronautic applications. This approach will significantly reduce ultrasonic inspection time cycles for complex shape composite parts and for internal and external composite fuselages. A methodology to evaluate which applications would benefit from this technology will be proposed and the new laser-ultrasonic system will be described and its performances reviewed.
15.15-15.45 Non destructive Testing of an integral CFRP outboard flap
Clemens Draschba, Technical Manager Aerospace, ThyssenKrupp System Engineering GmbH
15.45-16.15 High Dynamic Radioscopy (HDR) with Digital Detectors for in motion inspection with 1% contrast sensitivity
Klaus Bavendiek, Manager Applications and Research, YXLON International GmbH
High Dynamic Range (HDR) Inspection with DDAs means: High Contrast Range within a large material thickness range and Fast Inspection with live Image. For a low noise live image the x-ray energy has to be adapted; for local contrast enhancement a digital filter is implemented which makes the part looking like being of glass. Due to the movement of the part the inspector gets the 3D feeling for structures and flaws. This new x-ray inspection technique is used for fast and reliable flaw detection of welds (e.g. tubes) and castings (e.g. turbine blades).
