About
Henning Heuer is a leading figure in non-destructive evaluation and materials characterization, with a core focus on the advanced manufacturing and testing of carbon fiber composites. His research bridges the gap between process monitoring and structural integrity, particularly through the innovative use of eddy current techniques. Heuer’s most-cited work, "Analysis of the 3D draping behavior of carbon fiber non-crimp fabrics with eddy current technique" (2017, 47 citations), demonstrates his pioneering approach to real-time, in-process inspection. By adapting eddy current methods—traditionally used for metals—to conductive carbon fiber textiles, he enabled the visualization of fiber orientation and draping defects during composite forming, a critical step for lightweight automotive and aerospace structures. This contribution has provided manufacturers with a powerful tool to ensure quality without slowing production. Beyond this landmark study, Heuer has advanced thermography and inductive testing for damage detection, earning recognition for integrating sensor technology into industrial production lines. His work is highly cited by engineers seeking practical, scalable solutions for composite quality assurance, solidifying his reputation as a key innovator in smart manufacturing and materials testing.
