Research abstract
ABSTRACT: This Proposal describes effort to create ENHANCED eddy current technology. Resulting Instrumentation demonstrates reliability and feasibility to inspect deep flaws in complex, multi-layered structures. With the wealth/quality of information generated by AJM's Instrumentation further processed by spatial algorithms, it will be possible to demonstrate a thorough inclusion of all structural boundary conditions and specific inspection conditions. The emphasis is on deep flaw detection development in metallic structures, thus, candidate NDI solutions will concentrate on corrosion and/or crack detection applications. It has been shown that pre-crack formation from work-hardening should also be discernible.; BENEFIT: Low cost, easily used instrumentation/methodology to establish airworthiness of aging aircraft, preventing waste; while ensuring higher reliability airframes without need for disassembly.
