User GuidePROJECT AIM
One of the perennial questions asked by operators of systems
constructed from composite materials is
how to inspect them. The key information
is spread around a number of industry sectors. Users may not be aware of
advances in other sectors, the status, improvements in equipment,
practicalities, sensitivity or performance. The lack of a clear answer has
limited the take-up of composite materials by UK industry.
The DTI sponsored MMS15 project completed in 2006 has delivered an Interactive Knowledge Base (IKB) on non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of composites accessible via the Internet. This is one of a number of projects funded by DTI under the Measurement in Materials Systems Programme.
The MMS15 project was managed for DTI by ESR Technology in partnership with QinetiQ and NetComposites. Contact info@mms15.com for more information.
Final Report
The IKB
The IKB is intended to provide a focal point for industrial users to information on NDE of composite materials. The IKB provides advice what type of defects are detectable by a particular inspection technique and give examples of data, equipment, procedures, codes, performance and the principles behind the techniques. There is also a Technique Selection Tool to assist users find NDE methods which may have application for their specific problem. Why not have a look at the Interactive Knowledge Based IKB recently launched as an information tool on the NetComposites site. Email info@mms15.com if you would like to be included as a supplier , comment on the scoring of the technique selection tool or have examples of data or case-studies that would be good to include. The Interactive Knowledge Base IKB can be found at two locations: on the NetComposites site or the 'Development Version' on the NNDTC site. The Content is identical in both versions. There are some differences in the User Interface and Style.
