nondestructive evaluation of pavement structures.
This work has focused on investigating the compatibility of plastics and elastomers in hypergolic and oxygen-enriched media,
nondestructive evaluation and composite overwrapped pressure vessels.
A [pounds sterling]30 million joint investment by government and industry is to boost research in advanced materials and in
nondestructive evaluation and testing and to support aerospace and high-value manufacturing.

Satisfactory results from two selected damage cases, including through-thickness hole and crack in structural plates, have demonstrated the effectiveness of the developed method in defining the most probable location of damage in the structures which qualifies the presented method as an appropriate complement for other conventional point-scan NDE methods and in this way decreases the time and cost of the
nondestructive evaluation.
