Research abstract
The integrity of an aircraft structure is only as good as its joints and its primary structures. Therefore it is paramount that the quality of the joint can be determined with confidence after assembly and at intervals during the life of the structure. Space Micro's Advnaced Materials Division has identified an innovation, using a COTS approach to reduce risk and development time. This concept will incorporate technology that looks for irregularities via a non contact measurement, married to a novel software signal discrimination technique.
