Recently, a research project on the ultrasonic wave propagation has gained a special mention by the Italian Minister for University and Research (MIUR). The project has been selected among those funded by the MIUR and has been classified as an excellent research project both for the addressed problem and the obtained results, which will be disseminated in a specific publication.
The project, entitled “Development of a technique for the cure monitoring of composite matrices during filament winding processes”, was aimed at developing a novel application of the non-destructive control by means of air-coupled ultrasound, i.e. ultrasonic wave propagation without any coupling medium between the transducer and the sample. The obtained results will impact on the quality control of manufacturing processes of polymer composites for aerospace and other applications.
The results of the research activity have been presented in international conferences and published on international scientific journals.
