Abstract

This paper describes work undertaken as a collaboration between the Industrial Research Institute Swinburne and the School of Engineering Science at Swinburne University of Technology. The objective of the research program was to study the nature of adhesive bonds and to determine the feasibility of developing a non-destructive testing approach for the identification of 'good' and 'bad' bonds. This paper provides an overview of the types of non-destructive evaluation techniques that have been identified thus far, and their suitability for the purpose of detecting various bonding flaws.
