ENCOMB: Related activities

The ComBoNDT project is a follow-up of the Extended Non-Destructive Testing of Composite Bonds (ENCOMB) project.

ComBoNDT addresses the need to apply adhesive bonding as a joining technology to load-critical CFRP primary structures for the manufacturing of lightweight components in the aeronautic industry, by developing a quality assurance concept applicable within the whole life cycle of the aircraft, in order to overcome the current limitations regarding certification of composites.

ComBoNDT aims at introducing further development and maturation of extended non-destructive testing (ENDT) methods suitable for pre- and post-bond inspection of adhered surfaces and adhesively bonded joints. Quality assurance processes for adhesively bonded CFRP primary structures that are not load-critical already exist, however up to now it is not possible to detect defects like kissing bonds or bondline weakening by in- and post-process NDT techniques. The project, which brings together 13 partners from 8 European countries, meets the European Aviation Safety Agency certification requirements for structural bonding.
