... ad. A specific setup based on symmetrical laser shocks has been used. After each test, ultrasounds are used to determine if the bond has been damaged or not. At first, samples with two contaminants -de-icing fluid and finger prints -were studied. Then, the bond quality of two partially contaminated aircraft parts were investigated. These original results demonstrate the efficiency of the symmetrical laser shocks method as a Non-Destructive Test for bonded carbon fibre reinforced polymer assemblies.
