Presenter: Dr Kilian Tschöke and Martin Schulze
Carbon fiber-reinforced components are used for highly stressed structures, not only because of their comparatively low weight, but above all because of their high strength. These include containers, pressure vessels, vehicle components, and support structures. In environmental, energy, or process engineering, monitoring critical parameters on key plant components and processes allows for early detection of weak spots. This reduces downtimes, increases employee safety and lowers operating costs in the long term.
At Fraunhofer IKTS, automated testing and monitoring technologies are developed based on ultrasonics and eddy current to detect manufacturing defects such as delaminations or deviations in layer alignment during series production. In the seminar, example systems for testing multiaxial high-performance carbon fiber fabrics (NCF) in full production width and for non-destructive testing and permanent monitoring of H2 pressure vessels will be presented.
Fraunhofer IKTS provides the entire development chain of a monitoring system: from model-based design of sensor networks, through production and integration of sensors, to the development and provision of necessary measuring hardware and testing in our accredited laboratory. This webinar offers an overview of current non-destructive testing and monitoring techniques, presents system integration options, and discusses the possibilities and limitations of these methods.
