Abstract
A method for detecting a spacing defect between two adjacent strands of a layer of a fiber fabric includes positioning of the fiber fabric on a metal plate, the fiber fabric covered by an air-tight casing, removing air from between the metal plate and the casing, displacing an inductive sensor relative to the fiber fabric and identifying a defect based on a signal generated by the inductive sensor.
