Interactive Knowledge base on NDE of Composites
| Welcome |
Click on one of the following buttons to access the IKB. There are two versions. The full public version on the ESR Technology website includes the Browse capability and the NDE Technique Selection tool. The NDT tool on the Net Composites site has a more modern Browse capability, but does not currently include the technique selection tool. the technical information and pages are the same on the two sites. Links to User Guide and MMS15 Final Overview Report also included.
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. The tool is intended to provide a focal point for industrial users for information on the NDT of composite materials. It provides hundreds of pages of advice on the types of defects that are detectable by particular inspection techniques and give examples of the equipment, procedures, performance and principles behind each technique. There is also an interactive selection tool to help users find the right NDT technique for a specific problem. This comprehensive tool was created by ESR Technology, QinetiQ and NetComposites, with funding from the UK Government under the DTI’s Measurement for Materials Systems Programme and led by a cross section of users and suppliers of composite materials and testing equipment.

The IKB is intended to
provide a focal point for industrial users to information on NDE of
composite materials. The IKB Browse
facility 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.
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. , 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.
