This has caused China to expand their exports substantially, in particular to the OECD countries. This has lead to an increasing debate on whether, or to what extent, increasing manufacturing exports from China to the OECD countries has con

Acousto-Electromagnetic Interaction in Materials for Aerospace Composites

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a vital part of aerospace manufacturing due to high demands for quality and safety. Advances in materials science have given rise to aerospace composites with highly improved properties compared to traditional materials. To ensure that materials can be used safely, NDT techniques are continuously improved to follow advances in materials. This has also spurred devel
