EngD student, 2016 intake

University: Strathclyde

Sponsoring company: QinetiQ

Background: Integrated Masters in Electrical & Mechanical Engineering, University of Strathclyde 2016

The focus of this EngD is to investigate the use of the software package CIVA to model and simulate the interaction of ultrasonic inspection systems with weld joint geometry and welding flaws. Importantly, this can be used to understand the potential of conventional ultrasonic and phased-array inspection methods and allow optimisation of the inspection strategy: coverage, elimination of blind spots, and maximise resolution
