Development of a high sensitivity ultrasonic phased array Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method for the early detection of creep damage (Type IV cracking) in alloy steels used in high temperature, high (CreepTest)
Date du début: 1 mai 2013, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2015,
Creep is the time-dependent, thermally assisted deformation of a component operating under stress. Metal pressure components such as boiler tubing, headers, and steam piping in fossil-fired power plants operate at thermal conditions (above ~1,000ºF [538ºC]) conducive to causing creep damage over the operating life of the component.To ensure safe and reliable operation of such components in service ...

Development and Validation of an automated Ultrasonic system for the Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) of welded joints in thermoplastic storage tanks (PolyTank)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2014,
Plastics tanks are normally designed for a finite life, usually between 15 and 25 years. However, due to economic pressure many of these tanks are still in operation beyond their design life, often with little or no engineering justification. It is also not uncommon for plastics tanks to be used for storing chemicals that they were not designed to contain. For these reasons it is important that op ...

Smart condition monitoring and prompt NDT assessment of large concrete bridge structures (CROSS-IT)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2014,
"Today pre-stressed concrete bridges represent well over 50 percent of all bridges built. This increase has resulted from advancements in design and analysis procedures and materials, however the life of a concrete structure is still dependant on corrosion of the many internal steel reinforcements. As above, there appears to be a complete lack of appropriate international standards or specific reg ...
