Computerised diffraction tomography for structural health monitoring

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Structural health monitoring (SHM) offers the prospect of a quantum gain in performance and efficiency for the design and structural integrity management of high-value assets (e.g. aircraft). The aims of this project are to develop and validate efficient computational tools for: (i) Characterising the scattering of the Lamb waves by defects or boundaries, and (ii) Implementing robust and versatile approaches to tomographic imaging of laminar defects or damage from experimental/synthetic scattered field data. This project will result in the development of a validated and versatile SHM system for quantifying damage that is analogous to computerised tomography in medical imaging.
