WP2 - Inspection and monitoring
Description:
A structural health management methodology is developed for in-situ monitoring of hybrid adhesive joints, consisting of:
-
Early prediction of damage by means of different NDT techniques: fiber optical strain gages, thermography, ultrasonic, acoustic emission, etc.
-
Reliability assessment of the sensing techniques to detect damage due to environmental conditions.
-
Guidelines for the use of NDT techniques for inspection of hybrid adhesive joint in a marine environment.
