Final Year Honours Project
Sep, 2014 — May, 2015
Performing NDT on carbon composite aerospace components with an eddy current/capactive probe mounted onto a Kuka K5 robot. The path taken by the robot was generated from a model created in Rhino 3D modelling software. Work completed during this project has been published in Part B composites journal and can be accessed here.
