In order to realize the noncontact and high precision testing of aerospace composites, the application research for the testing of composite materials with laser ultrasonic technology is carried out. Various kinds of composite materials with simulated defects are prepared as specimen, including the carbon fiber reinforced composites and ceramic matrix composites. An all optical laser ultrasonic testing system with laser generation and detection is self-developed and the corresponding experiments are conducted based on the system. The nondestructive testing of the composite specimens with simulated defects are realized, including the detection of delamination in carbon fiber reinforced composites, the detection of drilling-induced delamination in carbon fiber reinforced composites, and the detection of internal delamination in C/SiC composites. The results prove that the laser ultrasonic testing technology is applicable for the testing of internal delamination with a diameter larger than 2 mm in carbon fiber reinforced composites, the pony-size drilling-induced delamination can be detected, and the internal delamination with a diameter larger than 5 mm in ceramic matrix composites can be characterized. It has a wide range of applications in aerospace industry.
