ABOUT

Objectives

- Develop an automated real-time diagnosis system for defects such as porosity, debonding, wrinkling, and voids.​
- Reduce noise and increase accuracy by processing acoustic and emission signals using transformation metrics (e.g., PCA) prior to ML analysis.​
- Validate the system with benchmark defects intentionally introduced during manufacturing (debonding, ply gaps, porosity zones).​

02

Expected results:

- Online quality assurance for an early detection of defects.​
- ML-based damage assessment (size and location) of manufacturing defects.​
- Enhanced damage diagnosis capability for online monitoring during AFP and LRI processes.​
