Abstract
In this work, the terahertz (THz) spectroscopy system was used for the detecting and evaluation of hidden damages in a glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP). The interaction between THz and the GFRP was analyzed including the effects of reflecting, scattering and absorption of THz radiations with respect to the type of hidden damage. Both the transmission and reflective configurations were used to investigate the hidden damages including the delamination, fiber fracture and moisture absorption. Finally, the hidden damages inside of the composite laminates were successfully imaged simultaneously based on the time-domain spectroscopy of THz radiation. Additionally, the moisture absorption damage in the GFRP could be detected by analyzing of the frequency domain spectrum. It is expected that the developed THz nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique can be widely used to evaluate the health of the composite structures.
