STEEL COMPONENTS ASSESSMENT USING A NOVEL NON-DESTRUCTIVE RESIDUAL STRESS ULTRASONIC TECHNOLOGY (STEELAR)

STEELAR’s main goal is to develop and validate an innovative non-destructive solution, based on a novel ultrasonic EMAT technology, to measure residual stress levels on steel components, providing decision-aiding information to manufacturers.

My role and responsibilities:

◼️ Tech leader in driving the project, Ultrasonic Guided waves-based investigation.

◼️ Developing new GUI tools for monitoring steel structures.
