- Additional information
- The article presents an original research in utilisation of the theoretical analysis to hypothesise thermal diffusivity law, and target development of a novel defect estimation technique in composite laminates containing ultra-thin defects. The technology has been adopted in Eagles-Lab based in Cranfield University and a Boeing funded IVHM Centre to use in autonomous inspection techniques using UAVs, and has proven effective and accurate in defect estimations as examined on metallic and composite components. Airbus UK showed their interest by match-funding a doctoral scholarship for scale-up to a large composite wing box
