Rail inspection by Flexible Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducer (RIFLEX)
Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016,
"Railway maintenance is a costly activity that can be improved by faster inspection of assets. If the speed of inspection of the railhead can be increased the potential cost savings are significant. Current NDT solutions implement hand held devices that effectively scan at walking pace. EMAT devices have been utilised to demonstrate that a non-contact solution that can be mounted to a vehicle is f ...

High Temperature Pipe Structural Health Monitoring System utilising Phased Array probes on TOFD configuration (HOTPHASEDARRAY)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
Uncertainties in the calculation of the lifetime of superheated steam pipes in power plants that contain a minor defect create situations with potentially catastrophic results, typically costing €120 million per event. Superheated steam pipes are periodically inspected and depending on their defects sizes they may be replaced after a lifetime assessment has been performed. Common errors in defect ...

Development of a robust cost-effective collision awareness and avoidance system for ground support equipment operating on the airport ramp (RAMPAWARE)
Date du début: 1 mars 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,
Even without taking into account expected increases in airport capacity, ground handling crews responsible for aircraft turnaround are already operating under time constraints and in highly congested areas, often in difficult weather conditions. The outcome is damage on an extraordinary scale, to the hugely expensive aircraft they are servicing. The direct cost of ground accidents involving Ground ...
