RESEARCH PROJECTS

Non-Destructive Testing: Reconstruction of defects using Ultrasonic Phased Array Probe (May ’12 – July ‘12) (Guide: Dr. N. N. Kishore, Professor, Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kanpur)

Flaw detection was done using Omni Scan MX machine with a high precision

Analysis of data taken on samples is done using tomoview 2.9R8 software

Complex flaw reconstruction was done with a very high precision of a 1.5 mm dia circular hole

An algorithm was developed and Programming was done on Matlab to generate the actual shape and size of the flaw in different types of material.

Reduced the defect size in sample until the error in reconstruction of defect exceeds 1%

Explored the possibilities of extension of this research to practical tasks like inspection and analysis of rail tracks, aeroplane

components, heavy machine components, etc.
