CFRP is widely used in industrial, biological and other fields. When there are defects inside the composite materials, its dielectric constant, magnetic permeability, etc. change. Therefore, metamaterial sensors are widely used in non-destructive testing of CFRP Defects. This paper proposes a defect identification and location method based on principal component analysis (PCA) and support vector machine (SVM). The trained model is used to classify the dimensionally reduced data, and the reconstructed defect binary image is obtained. Simulation and physical experiment results show that the method used in this article can effectively identify and locate defects in carbon fiber composite materials.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym16121706","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,23]],"date-time":"2024-12-23T09:13:38Z","timestamp":1734945218000},"page":"1706","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Research on CFRP Defects Recognition and Localization Based on Metamaterial Sensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Zhaoxuan","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"114012","DOI":"10.1016\/j.compstruct.2021.114012","article-title":"Detection of delamination defects inside carbon fiber reinforced plastic laminates by measuring eddy-current loss","volume":"268","author":"Wang","year":"2021","journal-title":"Compos.
