Scanner for researching non-destructive composite parts strengthen with carbon fibre

The team of dr inż. Bartłomiej Salski from the Institute of Radioelectronics at the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology has developed a new method of researching indestructible composite parts strengthened with carbon fibre which are widely used for building aircrafts, windmills and other devices which need to be light but of very good quality.

The method is based on the measuring of inductive coupling at very high frequency (VHF), where you receive the greatest responsiveness to defects of composite buried under the surface and invisible to the naked eye.

The research was done as  part of the „Radio Frequency Sensing for Non-Destructive Testing of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composite Materials for Structural Health Monitoring” project funded by 7th EU Framework programme.

After the presentation of the research results during the workshop organised by Ferrari in Maranello, Italy on 15th April 2015, the companies who took part in the project will commercialise those results.
