Continuous monitoring of the structural condition of the tower and supporting structure of floating and static offshore wind turbines (TOWERPOWER)
Date du début: 1 mars 2014, Date de fin: 30 juin 2017,
There is a growing interest in monitoring techniques and systems which can provide information about the condition of a wind turbine support structure, owing to a number of operational factors which have become apparent as increased numbers of turbine installations are experiencing longer periods of time in service. These include:• Instances of fatigue cracking in the support towers• Flange bolts ...

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 ...

Development of materials, processes, and means to enable the application of Piezoelectric materials in aero engine controls (AEROPZT)
Date du début: 12 mai 2014, Date de fin: 11 mai 2016,
The ACARE targets for civil aircraft include NOx and CO2 emissions reductions of 80% and 50% respectively by 2020. Although airframes make a significant contribution, most of the balance (especially NOx) will be contributed by the engines. These contributions are expected to be achieved by lean burn, increased propulsive efficiency and increments in cycle efficiency via reduced component losses. ...

In-Line Service For Internal Inspection Of Unpiggable Buried Oil Pipelines Using Long Range Ultrasound Guided Waves In Fifty Metre Segments (PIGWAVES)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2015,
This proposal will aim to develop the enabling technology that will enable existing pipe crawling robots (pigs) to provide internal inspection of pipe walls using long range ultrasound guided waves (LRUG) deployed in pipe segments of about fifty metre length.The aim is to perform total volume inspection far more rapidly, accurately and cheaply than is presently achieved with magnetic and ultrasoni ...
