Non-destructive testing of composite materials
In yacht and boat building the most commonly used materials are the so-called composites. By cleverly combining the positive properties of at least two components, they often have outstanding features – some of them even specially adapted to their respective areas of application. It is hardly surprising that they are also used for high-performance applications […]
