S460 steel is increasingly used in civil engineering, especially in a harsh environment such as offshore structures [1]. Material damage is inevitable for structures subjected to static and dynamic loads during their technical life time. Thus, monitoring material damage is important for providing information regarding critical damage of in...

Mathematical research breakthroughs, in the domain of image processing filters, were recently accomplished by combining non-local means smoothing operations with polynomial regression techniques. We show how inherently noisy speckle interferograms can benefit from these methods, which have been shown to achieve near-optimal noise removal, while...

<br/>The paper gives an assessment of the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) within a microclimate box and its influence on the material degradation. IAQ is concerned with maintaining acceptable temperature, humidity and oxygen levels and low pollutant levels in the rooms, cabinets or other enclosed spaces, for humans to live and work, while meeting legal...

The strict quality requirements for aerospace composite struc- tures give rise to costly quality control procedures. In automated bre placement (AFP) these procedures rely heavily on manual work and inspection. This research aims at performing preventative non-destructive evaluation of composite laminate quality based on an online geometric...

Ultrasonic welding is a very promising technique for joining thermoplastic composite (TpC) components in aircraft primary structures [1, 2]. The potential introduction of new lightweight structures in civil aviation has been driving the change towards condition-based maintenance (CBM) as an alternative to the regular inspection interval approach...

Safe and cost effective operation are the highest priorities for civil aircraft. Considering that many events that can occur during normal aircraft operation which cause a reduction in the residual strength of the structure, a rigid adherence to inspection and maintenance schedules and timely repair of damage is required. Since Structural Health...
