Shearography data for deep defect detection and characterization in thick GFRP laminates

Thick composite materials, e.g. thickness of more than 50 mm, are increasingly used in various industries including aerospace and marine sectors. Nevertheless, defect detection and characterization in these materials remain an appealing challenge. This research aims to improve deep defect characterization in thick composites with shearography. The raw data (phase-shifted speckle interferograms) are available with the metadata to reproduce the experimental results. Additional interactive videos with the variation of the phase induced by the defects are generated in the dataset
