The application of tailored NDT techniques across all major aircraft components ensures that the most effective inspection ...

In order to detect defects in the surfaces of dry fabric and composite prepreg, this new vision-based tactile sensor roller prototype, TacRoller, is a three-colour reflective membrane roller-shape ...

In addition to conventional ultrasonic testing methods for high-rate aerospace production, Arcadia Aerospace Industries (AAI) specializes in custom solutions for a number of nondestructive testing ...

Due to their light weight and optimal mechanical properties, modern composite materials, such as carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP), are increasingly used in automotive, wind energy and ...

Improved ultrasonic (UT) inspection methods address storage tank integrity monitoring and assessment without removing tanks from service. By acquiring large amounts of high-density UT data and ...

Researchers have improved flaw detection to increase confidence in metal parts that are 3D-printed using laser powder bed fusion. Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National ...

In the last two decades, results obtained from structural reliability analysis (SRA) have increasingly led to formation of strategies for future safe operation of corroding oil and gas pipelines. 1-8 ...

Detecting macro-defects early in the wafer processing flow is vital for yield and process improvement, and it is driving innovations in both inspection techniques and wafer test map analysis. At the ...
