Jeff writes "Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) components pose formidable challenges to inspections due to their anisotropic material properties and often complex morphology. My research focused on creating a platform to provide simulation of ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation (NDE) inspections for components made of such advanced material. The attributes of CFRP components pose challenges for modelling, where accurate representation of the internal structure can lead to high computational demands. Full numerical simulation has historically not been a viable option for complex simulations due to computational constraints."
