Automated Guided Wave Characterization of Marcelling: In-Plane Fiber Waviness in Thermoplastic Composites

Thermoplastic composite (TPC) materials often develop in-plane fiber waviness during manufacturing, a defect known as marcelling. Marcelling negatively impacts the strength and overall performance of the composite and are hard to control. While it may appear as a surface imperfec...
