Energy release in the solar Corona is characterized by a sequence of space and time localized events, whose intensity follows power-law distributions. In quiet Sun regions, small energy events, possibly under the detection threshold, dominate, thus supporting the “nanoflare” scenario of coronal heating. Two complementar models of heating are discussed, in connection with the above observational features. The first model is based on Alfvénic wavepackets dissipation in 3D force-free magnetic fields; the presence of regions of chaoticity of magnetic lines allows for a fast wave dissipation, within a fraction of a solar radius. The second model describes a MHD turbulence in low-β plasma, in which magnetic energy is continuously furnished by slow photospheric motions. Energy release events corresponds dissipation of current sheets, often associated with magnetic reconnection. The resulting distribution of dissipated power follows a power law, similar to observations.

Composites made from E-glass/epoxy or aramid/epoxy are frequently used in aircraft and aerospace industries. These materials are prone to suffer from the presence of delamination, which can reduce severely the performance of aircrafts and even threaten their safety. Since electric conductivity of these composites is rather small, they can propagate electromagnetic waves. Detection of delamination damage can then be monitored by using an electromagnetic penetrating radar scanner, which consists of emitting waves having the form of short time pulses that are centered on a given work frequency. While propagating, these waves undergo partial reflection when running into an obstacle or a material discontinuity. Habitually, the radar is moved at constant speed along a straight path and the reflected signal is processed as a radargram that gives the reflected energy as function of the two-way time and the antenna position.In this work, modeling of electromagnetic wave propagation in composites made from E-glass/epoxy was performed analytically. The electromagnetic wave reflection from a delamination defect was analyzed as function of key intervening factors which include the defect extent and depth, as well as the work frequency. Various simulations were performed and the obtained results have enabled to correlate the reflection pattern image features to the actual delamination defect characteristics which can provide quantification of delamination.
