delaminationsrisk
Delamination risk refers to the potential for layers within composite materials to separate or detach from one another, compromising structural integrity. Composite materials, such as fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs), are engineered by bonding multiple layers of fibers and resins together. Over time or under certain conditions, these layers can fail to adhere properly, leading to delamination—a critical failure mode that weakens the material’s load-bearing capacity.
Several factors contribute to delamination risk, including mechanical stress, environmental exposure, and manufacturing defects. High-stress concentrations,
Identifying delamination risk involves monitoring structural health through non-destructive testing (NDT) methods like ultrasonic scanning, acoustic
Delamination risk is particularly critical in aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering applications, where composite materials are
