Needs and opportunities: nondestructive evaluation for energy systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Advanced manufacturing and new energy systems are presenting a wide variety of challenges for nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT/NDE). This paper discusses the state of the art, needs and opportunities for NDE to provide reliable, effective and economic inspection and monitoring for energy systems. It introduces issues of materials, defects and allowables, the evolution of advanced NDT and NDE and then considers examples of NDE for energy systems. These include applications in the petrochemical industry, advanced and additive manufacturing, solar cells, wind turbines, nuclear systems and some underlying issues of large scale composites, pipes and concrete.

Teaching "Architecture and Energy" in Iran: opportunities and challenges
Architecture is one of the few disciplines that covers a wide range of fields. Accordingly, a comprehensive program should be developed for university education in this field so that it can meet its needs well. In recent years, with the advancement of architecture education and its development to graduate studies, the issue of teaching in its supporting areas has been raised. Therefore, in so...
متن کاملPiezoelectric Wafer Active Sensors (pwas) for Structural Health Monitoring and Embedded Ultrasonics
The capabilities of embedded piezoelectric wafer active sensors (PWAS) to perform insitu ultrasonics for active structural health monitoring (SHM) and nondestructive evaluation (NDE) are explored. The paper shows that PWAS, though low-power, lightweight, and small, can successfully perform Lamb wave transmission and reception, pitch-catch and pulse-echo, as well as large area scanning using the...

Nowadays energy is one of the most essential needs of human being and it can be considered as the basic prerequisite of social and economic development. Hence, many of the correlations and legislations of a country are affected by it. Since Iran has huge source of gas and oil, it has turned to a fossil fuel oriented county. But as oil and gas sources are non-renewable ones and cannot be replac...
متن کاملA fuzzy approach to the evaluation of human factors in ultrasonic nondestructive examinations
Human factors are among the main elements affecting the reliability of nondestructive examinations (NDE). In a man-machine system, human reliability is affected by many factors (performance shaping factors) whose influence on reliability cannot be easily expressed quantitatively. This paper identifies and ranks 59 perform-ance shaping factors by using a fuzzy reasoning method and proposes a pro...
