Overview
Develop an NDE technique with capacitive resitivity imaging (CRI) technology providing the capability to map variations of bulk low-frequency electrical properties within a structure and sensitive to any defects (e.g. cracks and fractures) or alterations (e.g. corrosion) affecting either electrical resistivity or dielectric properties of a material. Key deliverables are: 1.
Proof of concept that CRI technology is transferable from earth science and can deliver tangible benefits for military NDE; (20/11/2015) 2. A design concept for a highly portable and rapidly deployable CRI sensor array and instrumentation, suitable for in-situ military NDE; (07/12/2015) 3.
A pioneering and systematic assessment (predictive simulation and experimental lab study using geophysical benchtop prototype instrumentation) of the CRI response to representative material flaws, reflecting those commonly encountered in military assets; (08/01/2016) 4. A detailed technical report including de-risking activities, rationale for design decisions, emerging characteristics of a likely commercial prototype, and details of route to market; (02/05/2016)
