Imperial College NDE Group - Renewal of Platform Grant

2005年至2010年的当前平台赠款的主要目标是为该集团扩展到超分辨率（亚波长）成像，以增加我们在结构健康监测（SHM）领域的形象，并扩大该集团的建模工作的范围。实现这些目标的一个重要因素是工作人员的稳定和及时进行可行性研究的能力。目标已经完全实现，该集团在超分辨率成像方面处于世界领先地位，包括与美国主要机构的重大合作，在SHM方面开展了令人兴奋的工作，导致成立了一家新的分拆公司，并大大提高了我们的有限元建模能力。下一阶段的主要目标是在定量成像的保护伞下开发现代超声技术。在医学诊断方面，我们将把联合收割机定量成像科学与生物力学的新发现结合起来。此外，我们在无损检测方面的国际领先地位将使我们能够在医疗和工程应用之间进行交叉交流，从而使两个社区受益。

The main objectives of the current platform grant from 2005-2010 were for the group to expand into super resolution (sub wavelength) imaging, to increase our profile in the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) field and to extend the scope of the group's modelling work. An important factor in attaining these objectives was expected to be staff stability and the ability to undertake feasibility studies in a timely manner. The objectives have been met in full, with the group developing a world leading position in super resolution imaging including major collaborations with key US institutions, doing exciting work in SHM that has led to the formation of a new spin-out company, and greatly enhancing our finite element modelling capabilities. The chief objective for the next period is to develop a modern ultrasound technology under the umbrella of quantitative imaging. In medical diagnostics we will combine quantitative imaging science with the new and exciting findings of biomechanics. Moreover, our international lead in NDE will enable us to cross-fertilise between medical and engineering applications to the benefit of both communities.
