In order to inspect and assess the structural integrity of highly curved composite structures, as those being introduced on the new generation of missile systems, a hand-help inspection tool is being ...

In composite structures, some of the most critical areas susceptible to damage are inaccessible due to assembly or manufacturing procedures. In order to scan or monitor the structural integrity on tho ...

This proposal presents two innovative non-contact track gage measurement techniques, microwave and ultrasound. Both methods will be investigated and tested under harsh experimental setup conditions s ...

ABSTRACT: Corrosion under multi-layer structures is a significant problem for the Air Force. The ability to detect this corrosion rapidly over a large area is also very important. The Magneto-Optic ...

Aircraft undergo constant routine inspection in order to maintain airworthiness. Subsurface corrosion and metal fatigue in airframes which goes undetected can have tragic consequences. The QUEST propr ...

Corrosion within guy cables is a significant problem to the Navy. It is particularly difficult because the corrosion often initiates from within the cable and may not be visually apparent from the ou ...

Guy cables are used to support tall man-made structures, including broadcast antenna masts. Failure of a guy cable results in destruction of the mast with significant damage and impact. We will desi ...

A novel method for detecting adhesive failures in GRID-LOCK(R) structures is proposed using transient thermography. The method is suitable for rapid inspection of large areas. In addition to the dev ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will develop a novel laser assisted cryogenic jet cleaning process. Current laser based processes can result in subsurface damage. Our propose ...

A method for detecting disbonds using transient thermography is proposed. Novel excitation methods promise to provide a sensitive technique for detecting disbonds in aluminum tongue and groove struct ...
