System for evaluating the structural integrity of wind turbine blades, to increase the useful life of materials and structures in offshore wind farms.
01 December 2020 Project Sheet◖Application and development of non-destructive testing (NDT) - Thermography and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) - to monitor the appearance of defects in wind blades in operation.
◖Use of fibre Bragg grating (FBGs) and distributed fibre optic sensing (DFOs) to monitor the structural integrity of wind blades.
◖Development of tools for predicting the structural behavior of underwater gravity-based structure (GBS) offshore platforms.
◖Design, testing and monitoring of offshore underwater structures of the GBS type in a wave tank and at sea.
