Thermographic Non-Destructive Evaluation for Natural Fiber-Reinforced Composite Laminates

Natural fibers, including mineral and plant fibers, are increasingly used for polymer composite materials due to their low environmental impact. In this paper, thermographic non-destructive inspection techniques were used to evaluate and characterize basalt, jute/hemp and bagasse fibers composite pa...
