- Description
- Air Force Research Laboratory, Materials and Manufacturing Technology Directorate, Metals, Ceramics and NDE Division, Nondestructive Evaluation Branch AFRL/RXLP is soliciting white papers on the research described below. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) strives to be the new technology to assess structural integrity and provide information to enable prognosis of the remaining useful life of the structural elements. Traditional nondestructive inspection (NDI) capabilities have been limited to post-flight inspection to inspect for structural damage and continue to be a strong validation component of SHM methodologies. Existing SHM approaches have largely evolved from traditional NDE technologies and strive to monitor significant changes in aircraft structures. Piezoelectric sensors, strain gages, surface ultrasonic and eddy current films have attempted to globally and/or locally capture the material state but lack the ability to reliably detect changes in the material in an operational environment. In order to promote a significant improvement in the capabilities of SHM, this effort seeks to create innovative solutions to material and component sensing. It is the purpose of this effort to develop novel sensing concepts for the detection of Undesired Material State (changes in a nominal physical response from the material without direct reference to baseline material information). Development is anticipated to focus on innovative material sensing alternatives (nanotechnologies, MEMS, etc.) for various aircraft structural material changes (properties, deterministic/non-deterministic damage, conductivity, coatings, etc.), with consideration of aircraft structure conditions (application, accessibility (buried/surface-breaking), material variances, etc.). Broad application opportunities are targeted for metallic, composite and hybrid structures on future aircraft systems (with potential to demonstrate on existing aircraft structures).
