Defect Types

Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the common types defects found in various structural materials and joints aircraft. Materials manufacturing methods (including large-scale production) have been established aircraft industry. However, as will be seen this chapter, during in-service conditions are very across all material types. The include metals, composites, coatings, adhesively bonded stir-welded joints. describes defect a baseline for description their detection with Chap. 10.1007/978-3-030-72192-3_5 to 10.1007/978-3-030-72192-3_8 . Based on understanding types, there is great expectation technical breakthrough application health monitoring (SHM) damage systems, where continuous assessment high throughput yield produce desired integrity.
