9h às 13h

Title of Short Course:   Practical Introduction to Laser Shearography NDT.

Objective: 
Shearography non-destructive testing technique has gained increased acceptance as a cost effective solution for the production inspection of carbon fiber composites and sandwich structures in the aerospace, marine and wind industries.  Now included in NAS410/ EN4179, laser shearography is a fast, full-field, non-contact, single-sided inspection method for detection of defects including delaminations, wrinkles, disbonds, voids and much more. 
This course aims to provide the candidate with thorough understanding of the shearography technique.  It will primarily cover the theory of the technique and common applications, followed by a practical demonstration.  The course will enable the candidate to make an educated judgment about the applicability of shearography for a specific application by knowing the advantages and limitations of the technique.  There will also be a hands-on session with the equipment and a discussion of training requirements.

Program Content:

• Introduction to Shearography- Theory and Applications
• Practical Demonstration
• Conditions for success- how to decide if Shearography is the right solution
• Hands-on practical

13h às 17h

Title of Short Course: Introduction to Digital Image Correlation for Optical Strain Measurements

Objective: 
Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is a 3D, full-field, non-contact optical technique to measure contour, deformation vibration and strain on almost any material.  It can be used for many tests including tensile, torsion, bending and combined loading for both static and dynamics applications.
The technique can be applied to small or large area testing and the results are readily comparable with FEA results or strain gauges.
This course aims to provide the candidate with thorough understanding of the Digital Image Correlation technique.  It will primarily cover the theory of the measurement technique and practical applications, followed by a live demonstration.  The course will enable the candidate to understand the requirements for a good experimental setup and the advantages and disadvantages of the technique.  There will also be a hands-on session with the equipment.

Program Content:

• Introduction to Digital Image Correlation- Theory and Applications
• Practical Demonstration of an optical strain measurement
• Technical considerations for optimizing an experimental set-up
• Hands-on practical
