Vortex Robot for Rapid Low Cost Scanning and Improved Non-Destructive Testing of Large Concrete Structures (VORTEXSCAN)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2014, Date de fin: 30 juin 2016,
Large public infrastructure facilities around the world like dams, cooling towers and bridges use cement as the main building material. Although made from a durable material many of these large assets have begun to age and are in need of periodic inspection to ensure their integrity. Current inspection routine involves setting up scaffolds that have to be moved around for personnel to reach to the ...

Novel Electron Beam Surface Sculpting for Efficient Heat Exchange (HEATSCULPTOR)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2015,
By combining a new surface engineering process with state-of-the-art thermal modelling, significant design and performance improvements to heat exchangers for electronic and electrical systems can be made. The surface designs created will not only provide an increase in surface area (allowing for smaller size heat exchanger packaging), but also enable ‘designed’ flow over a surface (which will enh ...

Wind turbine blade Anti / De-icing, combined Ultrasonic guided wave and vibration system (DEICE-UT)
Date du début: 1 août 2013, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2015,
The DeICE-UT project will overcome the current limitations of existing wind turbine blade de-icing systems by developing an innovative dual de-icing system combining both high power ultrasonic guided waves and low frequency vibrations. Previous work on helicopter blades has shown that low frequency vibrations are highly effective at de-icing across the blades except at the leading edges, whilst th ...

High Power Transmission Line Cable Inspection (CHAPLIN)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2014,
There are many thousands of miles of high power line transmission cables dispersed around Europe. Some are installed in remote areas where it’s difficult to serve. Furthermore, line cables operate in severe conditions. The cables are subject to many environmental and operation factors such as moisture, voltage stress, omitting jacking and structural imperfections.These factors are the main reasons ...
