Optimisation study of NEWS techniques to detect micro-scale damage in aircraft components and structures
-
TO_1_1: Extend and prove the use of NEWS methods on various materials and structures in aeronautics with focus on detecting resident delaminations and weak bonds in composites and microcracks in alloy parts and on the assessment of early stage damage due to external loading mechanism.
TO_1_2: Determine and define methodological approaches and limitations of the NEWS techniques applied to different materials, parts and structures.
TO_1_3: Prove the efficiency and the advantages of NEWS compared to traditional testing (NDT) methods for monitoring and imaging microscale induced damage and fatigue of airframe parts.
TO_1_4: Supply feedback in terms of resolution and experimental demands of NEWS techniques for different types of tested objects.
