Cost effective corrosion and fatigue monitoring for transport products (CORFAT)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
"Corrosion damages and fatigue cracks are the main causes for structural failures of all surface transport products like ships, road tankers and railway tank cars. Examples are catastrophic ship accidents with a tremendous pollution of the maritime environment or fatal explosions during the use of transport vehicles. Although evolving defects have to be identified in time to enable appropriate rep ...

DETECTION OF SAFETY CRITICAL CRACKS AND CORROSION IN SHIPS USING NOVEL SENSORS AND SYSTEMS BASED ON ULTRASONIC LINEAR PHASED ARRAY TECHNOLOGY (Ship Inspector)
Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Jul 31, 2012,
Structural failure is a major cause of the wreckage of ships, vessels and tankers and causes loss of life and pollution of the seas and coastal waters of Europe as follows: §In 2004, the total amount of oil and oil products transported by sea reached the two billion-tonne/year mark (more than 40 % of total maritime traffic). The European Union accounts for 27 % of this traffic, with 90 % of Europe ...
