Abstract
In the present work, a combination method of acoustic emission (AE) and infrared thermography (IR) alongside
micro-computed tomography has been developed for the detection and monitoring of defects in additively
manufactured fibre-reinforced polymer matrix composites. This method allows for the detection of anomalies
and defects during the printing process and the verification of their presence in the finished printed structure
without the need for destructive testing. Furthermore, a structural assessment of these materials was performed
with tensile testing alongside IR monitoring. For both the in-line monitoring and the structural assessment, the
correlation between the printing parameters, the presence of defects and anomalies and the mechanical
properties was investigated.
