Introduction
Due to their important properties of high strength and low weight, composite materials play nowadays a major role in the construction of aircraft, spacecraft and civil engineering works. Composites are fabricated from at least two distinct materials with these materials maintaining their own structures and properties. During service life, composite structures can undergo various disorders ranging from localized damage to debonding which may reduce substantially their performance and cause catastrophic failure.
Damage detection in composite structures is mostly difficult because of the extreme sensitivity of revealing signal to the actual microstructure configuration, which may make the damage quite invisible. Various methods based on non-destructive testing (NDT) are currently in use for inspection and evaluation of composites structures. However, the inspections are yet expecting more from NDT processes to ensure the adequate method to be used in order to provide the best results.
Non-Destructive Evaluation of Composite Structures 2017 (NDECS’2017) will bring together researchers and experts from across the field of NDT in order to highlight recent developments being made, enabling for more efficient processes in the field of damage detection in composite structures. The event will contribute to discuss the best existing ideas and technologies in this field and participants will have the opportunity to make a clear understanding about the different NDT techniques and their reliability which can help them making the right choice for inspection commission of composite structures.
General information
Non-Destructive Evaluation of Composite Structures 2017 (NDECS’2017) will be held on November 25th 2017 in Tetouan, Morocco.
The major scope of NDECS’2017 will cover all relevant aspects of the science and technology of composite materials including: Non Destructive Testing, Damage and Failure, Fatigue, Delamination, Modelling and Numerical Simulation, Experimental Characterization and Health Monitoring.
The accepted manuscripts for NDECS’2017 will be published in a proceeding book with ISBN number. Authors of up to thirty best selected papers will be asked to submit full paper of 5 pages in order to publish them in a special edition of MATEC Web of Conferences (Scopus indexed), extra fees will be asked for that.

Scientific Program
Abstract submission: Instructions to Authors
We are pleased to announce the 1st International Conference on Non Destructive Evaluation of Composite Structures (NDECS’2017) which will be held in Tetouan, Morocco, 25th November 2017.
This venue is highly expected to constitute a memorable experience for the attendees as it shapes a unique experience with an exceptional mixture of cultural heritage from Africa, Andalusia and the Mediterranean Sea area.
The NDECS’2017 conference aims at providing a discussion forum for both fundamental aspects and practical applications in the field of non-destructive testing of composites materials, covering all associated aspects of interest (Technology, methodologies, standards, quality control, servicing, research and development…).
Authors and contributors are invited to submit an abstract to the conference secretariat before the deadline in one of the following six main themes:
