Case studies

Research: SPATIALLY RESOLVED ACOUSTIC SPECTROSCOPY

The University of Nottingham’s SRAS (Spatially Resolved Acoustic Spectroscopy) is a technique that can rapidly map the surface grain structure of materials, giving reliable and accurate data about shape, size and orientation of each grain.

Research: Ultrasonic array technology

The University of Bristol’s research in ultrasonic array technology applied to non-destructive testing has forever changed the way safety critical inspections are carried out and helped to extend the service life of valuable assets, boost revenue and improve safety in high-value engineering sectors such as nuclear and aerospace.

Tech Transfer: Monitoring high temperature plant

Early RCNDE research on transducer technology led to a novel concept to deal with high temperature inspection through the use of strip waveguides to separate the ultrasonic transducer and electronics from hot surfaces. This subsequently led to commercialisation by Permasense Ltd, a spin-out from Imperial College.

Tech Transfer: RELIABLE AUTOMATED INSPECTION

The development of a data fusion based software framework that provides a partially automated capability for systematic combination of diverse readings, allowing components to be declared defect-free to a very high probability while readily identifying any defect indications.
