Composite materials are widely used in aeronautical structures. During manufacturing and service conditions, these materials need to be inspected to characterize the presence of defects. In this work, an experimental study was carried out to assess the capability of different stimulated thermographic techniques in detecting delamination and resin pocket in aeronautical components made in CFRP.
