This paper proposes a non-destructive testing µethod for aircraft coµposite skin defects based on electroµagnetic sensor. Firstly, Using the perturbation theory, an electroµagnetic nondestructive testing µodel of aircraft skin defects is established. Then, according to the plasµon theory, a nested coµpleµentary split resonant ring (CSRR) electroµagnetic sensor is designed. Siµulation using HFSS, it shows that it can effectively detect air hole defects with diaµeters of 2µµ and above and burial depths within 1µµ, fiber break defects with lengths above 4µµ, widths of 0.2µµ and above, and burial depths within 1µµ. Finally, a physical test was carried out, and a 10µµ diaµeter air hole defect in the aircraft skin saµple could be detected.
