Assessment and recording inspection and monitoring protocol. Waiting for results from M4.1.

Asssesment of regulation and certification of NDt techniques for thick-walled composites. 

Development and evaluation of representative composite test pieces, to assess the performance of NDT methods.  Next steps are to compare the results from different inspection techniques.

Development of optical 3D metrology techniques for damage detection. Current work is preliminary testing.

Development of TFBG (tilted fibre Bragg grating) technology to investigate cure monitoring. Current work is calibration of sensors.

Assessment of available NDT techniques, to establish state of the art and select NDT techniques for investigation.

Determination of relevant damage types in thick composites, to define in detail the problem to be investigated.
