About Me

The Ultrasound Research Institute represents majority of ultrasonic research groups at Kaunas University of Technology. Ultrasound research spans over 55 years of activity, with more than 1000 publications and over 150 patents.

The Ultrasound Research Institute successfully participated and participates in 24 FP5, FP6, FP7 and 2 Eurostars projects, also 5 Horizon 2020. The main area of interest covers development of new advanced ultrasonic measurement, imaging and non-destructive techniques for extreme conditions (high temperatures, strong radioactive radiation, high pressure, aerospace and chemical activity) and non-conventional applications of NDT, monitoring, predictive maintenance and quality control. Those techniques are oriented to solve the complicated questions related to the construction safety and human health.

 Activity

We possess unique know-how and experience in the following fields:

  • ultrasonic measurements and imaging in high temperature environments;
  • ultrasonic long range testing techniques using ultrasonic guided waves;
  • air-coupled NDT ultrasonic technologies;
  • signal processing and modelling in ultrasonic measurements and imaging;
  • material characterization, process control and medical applications;
  • X-ray computed microtomography.

Examples of applied research for different industry fields are listed here:

1. Development of novel ultrasonic NDT, testing, measurement and imaging technologies for ensuring safety of composite materials in aerospace sector

2. Development of novel ultrasonic testing, measurement and imaging technologies for transport sector

3. Development of novel ultrasonic NDT, testing, measurement, imaging and monitoring technologies for extreme conditions in thermal and nuclear power plants

4. Development of novel ultrasonic NDT, testing, measurement and imaging technologies for accident prediction in oil and gas sector

5. Development of novel ultrasonic NDT, testing, measurement, imaging and monitoring technologies for renewable energy sector (wind, tidal)

6. Development of novel ultrasonic NDT, testing, measurement and imaging technologies for quality control of industrial processes and Industry applications

7. Development of novel ultrasonic testing, diagnostic, measurement and imaging technologies for medical applications
