Dr. Anthony Croxford (GB)
Professor of Dynamics Research

· Ultrasonic inspection can be used to inspect composite materials
· Phased arrays can be corrected to account for anisotropy and provide good internal imagery
· Guided wave SHM offers a way to use sparse arrays of sensors to inspect large areas continuously
· Permanently attached sensors can be made cheap and low powered to allow many to be deployed
