Welcome to the MMS15 MMS15 Project Home Page. 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.

Find the right NDE technique for your composites application

Use the Technique Selection Tool
Browse the IKB to find out more including data examples, procedures, images of equipment and an introduction to the NDT technique.

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.

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. , MMS15 aimed to overcome this limitation and increase the application of composite materials within the UK and Europe, by providing an independent source and focal point for information on NDE of composites.
