Last week TWI's Nathan Hartley
presented an overview of the ACCURATe project at the "Confidence in
Composites" event, organised by the leading UK industry trade association
Composites UK and supported by the world's largest trade association serving the composites industry - the American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA).
The two day conference provided a showcase for the
latest non-destructive evaluation and testing (NDE/T) technologies, structural
health monitoring (SHM) techniques and approaches to repair for composite
materials through case study presentations and demonstrations. It was attended
by representatives from leading UK composite manufacturers and experts in NDE/T from industry and academia.
Here's a photo taken during Nathan’s presentation
which included an up to date account of project progress and some excellent images & videos of the system in action:
