Abstract
Non-destructive radio-frequency inductive testing technique, based on coupled spiral inductors manufactured on a printed circuit board, is one of promising methods applicable to the monitoring of the structural health of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer materials. That technology is shown to be relatively inexpensive due to simple dielectric printing technology applied to the development of sensors. It also allows speeding up the measurements substantially, as the application of the array of sensors is straightforward and incurs low cost. The throughput of the overall inspection is of essential importance in the case of large surfaces, like aircraft fuselage, which are still challenging to the alternative non-destructive testing techniques.
