Global in flight health monitoring platform for composite aerostructures based on advanced VIBRATION based methods (VIBRATION)

Date du début: 1 mai 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2016,

"In order to reduce the sensor number, one has to be based on signals carrying information about the “global” structure state. The structure’s vibrational behavior is definitely a global characteristic. The idea is thus the development of a vibration based, in flight, SHM platform, which can be applied in aircraft structures in practice.The main practical problem for the application of vibration b ...

Efficient Systems and Propulsion for Small Aircraft (ESPOSA)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 juin 2016,

The ESPOSA project will develop and integrate novel design and manufacture technologies for a range of small gas turbine engines up to approx. 1000 kW to provide aircraft manufacturers with better choice of modern propulsion units. It will also deal with engine related systems which contribute to the overall propulsion unit efficiency, safety and pilot workload reduction. Through the newly develop ...

Low cost, super efficient and jet fire resistant cryogenic thermal insulation half shell structures using geopolymer technology for LNG pipeline applications (CRYOWRAP)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2015,

Natural gas may be liquefied at -160oC thereby reducing its volume and providing an economic means for its transportation. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) enables gas markets to be connected with more distant export sources thereby improving market competitiveness and stability. Effective thermal insulation is critical to energy management throughout the LNG value chain, impacting on competitiveness a ...

Long Range Ultrasonic Inspection of Aircraft Wiring (SAFEWIRE)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2014,

Defects in the electric wiring in aircraft have led to serious accidents. Cases in point were the losses of TWA Flight 800 in July 1996 and Swissair Flight 111 September 1998, in both of which ~ 230 people died. Experts investigating almost three decades of international aviation incidents between 1972 and 2000 found more than 400 wire related incidents. The Ageing Transport Systems Rulemaking Adv ...

Libralato Engine Prototype (LIBRALATO)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2011, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2014,

"The Libralato rotary engine is a potential breakthrough technology, an “eco-engine” for the 21st century, with a new thermodynamic cycle and very different mechanical dynamics than is the case with conventional internal combustion engines. The project will investigate the design potential of the Libralato engine through an iterative cycle of simulation and modeling, prototype construction and tes ...

Improved magnets for energy generation through advanced tidal technology (MAGNETIDE)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2014,

Gearless generators are of increasing interest and turbine system manufacturers are looking into gearless energy systems projecting onto 2015. Gear operates on mechanical engagement and friction which implies loss of energy and mechanical damage on parts in long term. Gearless generators, on the other hand, are possible by employing magnets, for which powder metallurgy (PM) and most notably powder ...

Radio Frequency Sensing for Non-Destructive Testing of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composite Materials for Structural Health Monitoring (Comp-Health)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2014,

It is well recognised that composites have a significant part to play in reducing the weight of many structural engineering components, given its superior strength-to-weight ratio. These features help on reducing energy requirements and enabling renewable energy generation through construction of light-weighing devices. Although the aerospace and renewable sectors are currently taking forward the ...

Development of an intelligent condition monitoring system for application on critical rotating components of industrial-scale wind turbines (INTELWIND)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,

"Wind energy currently provides approximately 3% of the overall European electricity production. However, with the current growth trends exhibited the wind energy industry is capable of delivering 12% of the overall European power production by 2020 and more than 20% by 2030.Operation and maintenance costs (O&M) constitute a sizeable share of the total annual costs of a wind turbine. For a new mac ...

The development of a graduated radar-absorbing multi-layer structure for wind turbine applications to enable their positioning in areas of optimal power generation (OSGRAM)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2009, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2012,

"The EU is committed to generating 20% of it energy from renewable sources by 2020, and 50% by 2050. Wind energy is the cheapest and technologically most straightforward way to generate the majority of this energy. As a result for this the amount of wind energy installed in the EU is predicted to increase from its current level of 56,000 MW to 300,000 MW by 2030, equating to the installation of ov ...
