- Measuring unconstrained large-scale structures accurately during manufacture is difficult. In this research, the application of coherent laser radar technology was a new step in tackling this challenge. In collaboration with Nikon Metrology Europe NV (martin.bishop@nikon.com), the technology has been adopted for measuring unconstrained wind turbine blades to ensure they meet dimensional tolerance requirements and has potential for use in the aerospace industry. As a result of this research, Dr Wang was invited to give a talk “automated inspection of large unconstrained parts” at the SAE 2016 Aerospace Manufacturing and Automated Fastening Conference and Exhibition (Bremen, Germany, October 2016).
