Groves, R.M. (author), Ameng, L. (author), Xiaoli, L. (author), Hackney, S. (author), Peng, X. (author), Osten, W. (author)Advanced measurement techniques for the structural diagnostics of artwork are increasingly providing more complex data that needs to be conveyed to conservators in a meaningful way. Holography and speckle interferometry based sensors are commonly used for this application and of these shearography is quite suitable for measurements outside the...conference paper 2009

Miesen, N. (author), Mizutani, Y. (author), Groves, R.M. (author), Sinke, J. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)This paper demonstrates that existing Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) techniques have potential during the production phase in addition to their application for maintenance and for in-flight monitoring. Flaws occur during composite fabrication in industry, due to an imperfect process control and human errors. This decreases production...conference paper 2011

Krutul, E.C. (author), Groves, R.M. (author)This paper is concerned with the modelling of the complete opto-mechanical measurement system, including shearography instrument, loading technique and the response of the object under test and the comparison of the simulation results with experimental results. To show the applicability of this technique, the response of an aluminium flat plate...conference paper 2011

Anisimov, A. (author), Muller, B. (author), Sinke, J. (author), Groves, R.M. (author)The development of smart materials for embedding in aerospace composites provides enhanced functionality for future aircraft structures. Critical flight conditions like icing of the leading edges can affect the aircraft functionality and controllability. Hence, anti-icing and de-icing capabilities are used. In case of leading edges made of fibre...conference paper 2015

Tapeinos, I. (author), Koussios, S. (author), Groves, R.M. (author)This paper outlines the structural performance of a conformable pressurizable tank consisting of intersecting spherical shells (multi-cell tank). Multi-cell tanks outrival conventional multiple cylindrical tanks in volumetric efficiency when required to fit in a rectangular envelope in the automotive industry. When pressurized, the multi-cell ...conference paper 2015
