Composites Evaluation in aircraft industry through Triplex IR imaging system (CompETe)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,
Composite structures behave differently under normal loads than equivalent metal structures. Fatigue and corrosion have proved to be much less prevalent in composites compared with metals. Subsurface damage can go undetected for long periods and result in sudden catastrophic failure, such as the crash of American Airlines Airbus a few years ago. The project aims to develop an advanced non-invasive ...

An Advanced Structural Integrity System for Air Transport Composites using NDT Evaluation and Damage Tolerance Methods (TRACE-IT)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
There is a huge industrial and innovative need for more efficient and reliable damage inspection as well as for reducing the time and cost for aircraft infrastructure maintenance and especially C and D Checks without compromising the safety of passengers and goods transported. This reduction would increase the value for money for the European aerospace industries. Moreover, airline companies will ...

Continuous health monitoring and non-destructive assessment of composites and composite repairs on surface transport applications (ComPair)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2011,
Composites are used in a wide range of applications in surface transport. Damage to composite components in vehicles and surface transport applications is not always visible to the naked eye and the extent of damage is best determined for structural components by suitable non-destructive and evaluation (NDT & E) techniques. A detailed NDT and/or health monitoring procedure for proper damage assess ...
