6.1.4 Detecting Repaired Areas (Potting) in Honeycomb Composite —
Mechanical Impedance Analysis (MIA) Technique
As MIA technology measures the mechanical impedance (or stiffness) of materials, it
displays a high contrast between a repaired/potted area (which is stiff) and a disbond
(which has low mechanical resistance). This contrast characteristic allows you to use
the MIA test technique to identify repaired areas in honeycomb composite.
Inspection materials are shown in Figure 6-29 on page 142.
