Abstract: Compared with other non-destructive testing technologies, ultrasonic testing is still the most widely used and mature technology for aeronautical composite component testing. In recent years, with the gradual development of domestic phased array ultrasonic testing technology, this technology has gradually moved from the laboratory research stage to the production inspection application stage. The Automatic phased array ultrasonic inspection technique based on the pulsed echo mode was utilized to study the automatic inspection of composite omiga stringer stiffened curved panel. For the curved panel and omiga stringer R structure respectively, different probes, frequencies and focus modes were used to carry out automatic inspection and profile, C scan imaging and defect evaluation. The results prove that the automatic inspection and profile of curved panel can be realized by utilizing ultrasonic profiling measurement method, and the minimum size to Φ3 mm defect can be detected. The omiga stringer R structure can be inspected automatically by customizing the special R structure water shoe.

Key words: composites, omiga stringer stiffened curved panel, curve profile, automatic phased array ultrasonicinspection
