The Nondestructive Evaluation Laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation for applied scientific research and development in the area of ultrasonic, laser-optic, electromagnetic, thermoelectric, and dielectric materials characterization and nondestructive testing. Currently it is being used for research in conjunction with testing for the following companies:
o
General Electric
o
Air
Force Research Laboratory o
Air
Force Research Laboratory o
Air Force Office of
Scientific Research o
DAGSI
The laboratory has recently received an equipment grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research to purchase and install a high-resolution SQUID-based magnetic scanner for thermoelectric inspection of aerospace materials. Current research projects in this laboratory include ultrasonic, laser-optic, thermoelectric, and electromagnetic inspection of early fatigue damage in titanium alloys, corrosion detection and assessment in high-strength aluminum alloys, residual stress assessment in surface treated engine components, fretting damage detection in turbine disks and blades, and the evaluation of joint integrity in rotating components. |
