SBIR/STTR
Handheld Nonlinear Detection of Delamination and Intrusion Faults in Composites, Phase I
Project Introduction
In Phase I of the SBIR program, LEEOAT Company will develop a hand-held high-resolution ultrasonic nonlinear imager for non-destructive inspection (NDI) of delamination and intrusion faults in composite structures. We will reduce-to-practice the innovation by conducting experiments on composite structures with calibrated faults. Additionally, we will design as well as theoretically simulate the imaging NDI system. Finally, we will estimate the cost/effort for the fabrication and testing of the portable cost-effective NDI prototype to be executed in Phase II of the program.
