Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.
This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract
The Intensive use of composite materials in aircraft primary structures has led to the setting up of special inspection systems for the detection of any defects which may be produced during the life of the aircraft. The main defects which are investigated during maintenance are, in general, delamination defects produced by various types of impact (stones, lightning, effects of maintenance tools being dropped).
