DEFECTS OF AIRCRAFT STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS BASED ON POLYMERIC-COMPOSITE AND THEIR DIAGNOSTICS BY NONDESTRODUCTIVE CONTROL METHODS

Abstract. This article examines the application of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for assessing the structural integrity of aircraft components made from polymer-based composite materials. Composite materials are widely used in aviation due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and durability. However, these materials are subject to various defects caused by manufacturing processes, operational loads, […]

APPLICATION OF TERAHERTZ WAVES IN AVIATION SECURITY

Abstract. In recent years, the increasing threat of plastic explosives has posed significant challenges to aviation security agencies, emphasizing the critical need for their timely detection and neutralization. Simultaneously, interest in the terahertz region of the electromagnetic spectrum has grown considerably. This study investigates the potential of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) for detecting the spectral […]
