SBRI Challenge - Non Destructive Evaluation (NDE)
This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.
This sits in the lower-middle of the Engineering & Architecture band — a mid-scale opportunity. Based on 33,646 valued Engineering & Architecture tenders in our corpus.
Develop a technique to reduce inspection maintenance costs by deploying fully optimised guided wave inspections to quickly and accurately assess the condition of difficult to access fuel and hydraulic seals.
1) A reliable and repeatable operating procedure to assess seal integrity; 2) A method for accurately and quickly identifying mis-alignment and inadequate seal coupling; 3) An approach that minimises system disturbance and reduces prolonged inspection periods; 4) Increase availability of aircraft due to reduced, yet safe, maintenance programme.
The work is to be undertaken in accordance with the SBRI application 61125-446206 submitted and held by Innovate UK for the Non-Destructive Evaluation programme.
Key deliverables are: 1.
Definition of pipeline geometries and seal types that represent a range of common aircraft fuel and hydraulic networks (19/11/2015) 2.
Development of a functional three-dimensional Guided Wave Finite Element model (27/11/2015) 3.
