Fibre Reinforced Composite Reflectors for Concentrated Solar Power Plants (CompoSol)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 30 juin 2014,
The principle of concentrated solar power (CSP) is to reflect and focus solar energy collected from a wide area on to one point, using the thermal energy to produce steam or a hot liquid in order to transfer or store the energy.For this proposal, the solar collector will be made of carbon fibre composite material. This can be designed to be stiff (maintaining its position) whilst being light weigh ...

Development of an automated spot weld inspection device for safe vehicle repair (SpotTrack)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
There are over three thousand spot welds in a typical car. When a car is repaired the spot welding parameters can be different as the mass production machinery used in manufacture can no longer be used. The repairer often is not an expert at inspecting spot welds. Assured reliability of the spot weld is paramount, since the integrity of the spot welds is vital to the crash performance of a car and ...

Offshore Wind Turbine Towers – A Quicker, Cheaper Flange Supply Route (RingMan)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2011, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2013,
There is a tendency to higher power offshore wind turbines, leading to larger turbine towers (5m diameter and greater) and a requirement for large diameter connection flanges between the tower sections and between the tower and foundation transition pieces. Currently, forged rings are specified, with inherently high cost and few suppliers worldwide. This leads to long lead times and higher costs f ...

DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL INSPECTION TECHNIQUES FOR TRAIN AXLES (AxleInspect)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2013,
The structural integrity of wheel sets used in rolling stock is of great importance to the rail industry and its customers. A number of rail accidents have been directly related to the failure of train axles, leading to increased demands for their inspection and maintenance. Visual inspection and Magnetic Particle Inspection are the current standard practices used for manual non-destructive testin ...

COMPArative evaluation of NDT techniques for high-quality bonded composite REpairs (COMPARE)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2012,
"Adhesively bonded composite repairs exhibit significant advantages in terms of mechanical efficiency compared to those effected using mechanical fasteners. However they are at the same time extremely sensitive to process parameter variations. Small deviations against the repair specifications and subsequent flaws, could lead to disproportionally larger consequences to the final mechanical perform ...
