Adapted Composite Repair Tooling for in-situ wind turbine blades structural rehabilitation (CORETO)
Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2014,
"The wind turbine industry is the fastest growing market area for the use of composite materials. Current state-of-the-art turbines are increasing in size, providing multi-megawatt power output. To generate such power turbine rotorblade diameters exceeding 100m along with nacelle heights of 120m are becoming standard. As turbines grow and their deployment becomes more widespread and remote, it is ...

Automated inspection for sintered parts by non-destructive techniques for improved quality in production (AUTOINSPECT)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
"Sintered parts obtained by the powder metallurgy process are employed in several industry sectors, especially automotive. They are typically intricate, complex shaped parts produced in near net shape by compaction of powders into a geometry followed by sintering of the compacts for consolidation, where particles are bonded upon heating. The powder metallurgy process, by nature, is suited to high ...

Long range ultrasonic system for continuous in service inspection and structural health monitoring of high temperature superheated steam pipes in power generation plant with 100% coverage (HotScan)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2013,
A typical electricity power plant of 500MW (both nuclear and conventional) has up to 4 kilometres of pipe work carrying superheated steam at pressures of up to 400 bars and temperatures up to 580 oC. The extreme pressures produce hoop stresses in a pipe causing the pipe welds to creep continuously in time until weld creep cracks are generated which, if undiscovered, may grow until the pipe rupture ...
