Development of Quantitative Radiographic Tomography technology for the in-situ Inspection of welded austenitic safety critical pipework in the nuclear power generation and petrochemical industries (TomoWELD)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2015,
Austenitic stainless steel is often used in the construction of critical pipework in nuclear power plant and petrochemical plant due to its resistance to corrosion and its high fracture resistance. Pipelines are usually constructed by joining sections of pipe together, using welding. These welds can host many types of defects that may go undetected if not inspected and in-service and under stress ...

In-situ wireless monitoring of on- and offshore WINd TURbine blades using energy harvesting technology (WINTUR)
Date du début: 1 juil. 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2011,
"This project will develop an integrated system to monitor continuously the condition of wind turbine blades, without human intervention on site, using a novel integration of acoustic emission (AE) and long range ultrasonics (LRU). The system will use flexible light weight sensors. It will not be hardwired, deriving its power from energy harvested from the continuous flexing of the blade and trans ...

Development of a condition monitoring system for tidal stream generator structures (TidalSense)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2009, Date de fin: 31 août 2011,
Due to the increasing demand for renewable energy, a great deal of effort is being put into the development of tidal power generation systems. As these systems go in to commercial production and service, it is important to consider and develop inspection and condition monitoring techniques and systems. Condition monitoring of such systems could be used to greatly reduce the risk of failures and th ...

High Energy Digital Radiography (HEDRad)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2011,
The project objective is to develop digital computed radiography technology for the volumetric examination of large scale safety critical pressure components (e.g. pump bowls, valve bodies, thick section vessel and pipe welds) for the detection of in-service defects, the presence of which could lead in catastrophic component failure. Energy sector businesses (e.g. oil & gas, petrochemical and ...
