A composite system comprising a curable resin further comprising at least one plurality of detectable particles.
An article incorporating a composite system comprising a curable resin further comprising at least one plurality of detectable particles.
A method for conducting nondestructive testing of a composite system comprising:
- providing a composite system comprising a curable resin further comprising at least one plurality of detectable particles;
- providing an article;
- providing at least one sensor capable of detecting the detectable component within the composite system;
- operatively disposing the composite system relative to the article.;
- and
- using the sensor to detect the detectable component within the composite system.
An eddy current array probe for the measurement of a composite system comprising curable resin further comprising at least one plurality of detectable particles, the probe comprising at least two sets of drive lines and sense coils.
