About

Dr. D. J. Armstrong is a leading researcher in the non-destructive evaluation and advanced manufacturing of composite materials, with a particular focus on carbon fibre reinforced polymers. Their most cited work, "Quality Analysis of Weld-Line Defects in Carbon Fibre Reinforced Sheet Moulding Compounds by Automated Eddy Current Scanning" (2022), addresses a critical challenge in compression moulding: the formation of weld-lines that compromise structural integrity. By pioneering automated eddy current scanning techniques, Armstrong has enabled high-resolution detection of these meso-structural defects, directly improving quality control in the production of integrated structural components. This contribution is vital for industries like aerospace and automotive, where reliable, lightweight composites are essential. With 5 citations and growing recognition, Armstrong’s research bridges the gap between complex manufacturing flows and real-time defect analysis, offering practical solutions for scalable, defect-free production. Their work underscores a commitment to advancing non-destructive testing methodologies, ensuring that next-generation composite structures meet rigorous performance standards.
