Abstract

This article deals with the detection of defects of rectangular geometric shape, in a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite material based on non-destructive testing by eddy current (ECT). For this, a stochastic finite element calculation code is developed in a Matlab environment. The main objective is to evaluate the ECT signal of a fault by determining the impedance variation for the two configurations, in the absence and presence of a fault. Additionally, the impact of the direction of the carbon fibers is exploited to evaluate the reliability of the material. The validation of our work is carried out using experimental data from the work of Takagi et al., provided for reference.
