Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Pioneering work on the application of transmission line measurements to the characterisation of adhesive bonded structures has been undertaken over the last 10 years at the University of Strathclyde. This research has been supported by industrial funding and demonstrated the potential of the dielectric method for the identification of water ingress into joint structures and also monitoring the changes which occur in the joint structure as a function of the ageing time in various environments.The proposal is concerned with the development of a robust inverse solution to the analysis of electromagnetic wave propagation in adhesive bonded structures. Such an analysis will significantly improve the data obtained from dielectric measurements and allow a progression from the application of the method from test coupons to real structures.
