Global in flight health monitoring platform for composite aerostructures based on advanced VIBRATION based methods (VIBRATION)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

"In order to reduce the sensor number, one has to be based on signals carrying information about the “global” structure state. The structure’s vibrational behavior is definitely a global characteristic. The idea is thus the development of a vibration based, in flight, SHM platform, which can be applied in aircraft structures in practice.The main practical problem for the application of vibration b ...

Training future mechanical, civil, electrionic engineers and computer scientists in SYStem Identification, Condition & Health Monitoring for a New Generation of WIND Turbines (SYSWIND)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

Growth in the European wind energy market has led to the manufacture of larger turbines (~ 7.5 MW). There are several challenges associated with these turbines, particularly offshore, e.g., vibrations/ damage of the flexible blades, mechanical drives/electric converters. These raise maintenance concerns and result in operational downtime, impacting on power systems and supply reliability. For thes ...

4 Dimension Contracts - Guidance and Control (4DCO-GC)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

"The 4DCo-GC project aims at exploring the concept of ""4D Contract guidance and control of the aircraft"" as a step change in air transport operations by providing a more radical and environmentally efficient solution for the management of the airspace. Scientific objectives of 4DCo-GC are to:- model 4D contract concepts (strategic, tactical and emergency levels)- develop algorithms (strategic, t ...

Personal Plane: Assessment and Validation of Pioneering Concepts for Personal Air Transport Systems (PPlane)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

"The PPlane project is a direct follow up study to Out-of-the-Box project that aimed to identify potential new concepts and technologies for future air transport and focused on a number of radical changes to the system rather than taking incremental steps.As a result of the Out-of-the-Box project, PPlane implements a systematic approach to radical and novel ideas for Personal Air Transport System ...
