three classification of damage
negligible, repairable, non-repairable
is damaged that may be corrected by a simple procedure with no restrictions on flight operations
negligible
is damaged to the skin, bond, or core that places restrictions on the aircraft or part
repairable
is damaged beyond established repair limits
non-repairable
defect on the outer surface that does not involve damage to the structural reinforcing fibers
cosmetic defects
often caused by chipping or scratching during handling
cosmetic defects
occurs when foreign object strike the part
impact damage
is a defect on the outer surface that does not involve damage to the structural reinforcing fibers
impact damage
most common cause of impact damage
careless handling during transportation or storage, or standing parts on their edge without adequate protection
is a separation of fabric layers of a material in a laminate
delamination
delamination occurs as a result of several causes like?
impact, moisture in the fabric, lightning strikes
another type of delamination
unbond or disbond
occurs when the skin of the sandwich structure becomes separated from the core
disbond / unbond
can occur in advanced composite structures just as in metallic ones
cracks
may occur from impact damage, over-torquing fasteners, or as a result of fastener pull-through. holes filled in the wrong location, wrong size, wrong number of holes can also be classified as this.
hole damage
are not easily detected however, they could lead to extensive damage
tiny holes
types of damage
cosmetic defects, impact damage, delamination, cracks, hole damage
used to detect cracks, surface irregularities, and surface defects such as delamination and blistering
visual inspections
one of the most important tools used to detect internal flaws or delamination
coin tap test
uses a high frequency sound wave as a means of detecting flaws in a part by beaming a high frequency wave response, delamination, flaws, or other condition are detected
ultrasonic inspections
is time versus amplitude display read from left to right
a-scan
takes a cross-sectional view of the material being tested and used as an oscilloscope screen to compare the sample
b-scan
imaging shows the shape, size, and location of the damage, but does not show the depth
c-scan
locates flaws by temperature variations at the surface of a damaged part. heat is applied to the part then the temperature gradients are measured using an infrared camera or film
thermography
