Innovation and Networking for Fatigue and Reliability Analysis of Structures - Training forAssessment of Risk (INFRASTAR)

Start date: May 1, 2016, End date: Apr 30, 2020,

INFRASTAR aims to develop knowledge, expertise and skill for optimal and reliable management of structures. The generic methodology will be applied to bridges and wind turbines in relation to fatigue offering the opportunity to deal with complementary notions (such as old and new asset management, unique and similar structures, wind and traffic actions) while addressing 3 major challenges: 1/adv ...

Safe long term operation of light water reactors based on improved understanding of radiation effects in nuclear structural materials (SOTERIA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2019,

The overall aim of the SOTERIA project is to improve the understanding of the ageing phenomena occurring in reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steels and in the internal steels (internals) in order to provide crucial information to regulators and operators to ensure safe long-term operation (LTO) of existing European nuclear power plants (NPPs). SOTERIA has set up a collaborative research consortium wh ...

Training in Reducing Uncertainty in Structural Safety (TRUSS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

The growth of cities, impacts of climate change and the massive cost of providing new infrastructure provide the impetus for this proposal – entitled Training in Reducing Uncertainty in Structural Safety (TRUSS) – which will maximize the potential of infrastructure that already exists. If flaws in a structure can be identified early, the cost of repair will be vastly reduced, and here an effective ...

JOINing of copper to aluminium by ElectroMagnetic fields (JOIN-EM)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

Global trends force industry to manufacture lighter, safer, more environmentally-friendly, more performant, and cheaper products. Due to its excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, copper is widely used in heating and cooling equipment and electrical devices. The rising demand caused the copper price to increase significantly.Solving the conflict between the technological benefits arising f ...

Understanding the Long-Term fate of geologically stored CO2 (ULTIMATECO2)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

ULTimateCO2 will 1) significantly advance our knowledge of specific processes that could influence the long-term (LT) fate of geologically stored CO2 and 2) yield validated tools for predicting LT storage site performance. The 4-year collaborative programme will cover detailed lab, field and modelling studies of the main physical & chemical processes involved and their impacts in the LT: a) trappi ...

Long Life Bridges

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Bridges, like many Civil Engineering products, are designed quite conservatively. For older bridges, this conservatism is very expensive – there is a great difference between the cost of strengthening an existing bridge and not doing so. Very often it is possible to prove that a bridge is perfectly safe even when it is old and has deteriorated since it was first built. Sometimes the deterioration ...

imProved reliabIlity inspeCtion of Aeronautic structure through Simulation Supported POD (PICASSO)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"With aging engines and the increase of air traffic in the next 20 years, a central challenge in the aeronautical industry will concern the increase of the efficiency of maintenance which still represents around 20% of an operator’s indirect operating costs. This challenge is particularly important for metallic parts within the engine aircraft industry, because of the criticity of rotative compone ...
