Session to be led by Professor John Tyrer\, Man aging Director of Laser Optical Engineering Ltd. John has 40 years of expe rience in industry and academia. The Defect Dtect system developed in John 's R&\;D facility is a small\, modular\, and versatile laser shearograp hy unit providing whole field\, non-contact\, non-destructive testing for the inspection of composites\, bonded structures\, and other advanced mate rials.\n\nDuring the morning session\, which is being held in John's works hops\, a number of practical demonstrations will be undertaken and explain ed to showcase the technology. The practical is mixed with the theory as t o what laser shearography technology is and what it can do.\n\n10.45 Tea & amp\; Coffee\n\n11.00 Continuation of introduction to laser shearography. During these first two morning sessions\, the following topics will be cov ered:\n- Strain analysis of composite structures. To assist in the design of optimal composites.\n- Manufacturing faults identification. To improve the design and build quality of composites.\n- In life/refit and damage id entification of composites. To identify various types of composite damage and assess their effect on the structures.\n- Traffic light system of red amber and green\, covering delamination\, disbonds\, core materials\, osmo sis blisters etc.\n- Laser shearography of carbon rigging and composite ma sts.\n\n12.45 Lunch\n\n[caption id="attachment_47027" align="alignright" w idth="230"] Professor Bob Cripps[/caption]\n\n13.30 Professor Bob Cripps\, former Engineering Manager at the RNLI. Bob plans to share his extensive knowledge and experience with the group gained from many years as technica l lead at RNLI.\n\nBob is well known for his work in the design and develo pment of small craft and the use of composite materials in marine applicat ions. This was recognised with the award of an Honorary Doctor of Engineer ing from Bournemouth University in 2005. His particular areas of interest and expertise are the development and integration of methods and processes to enable naval architects and designers to utilise the latest technical developments simply at an early stage of the design process. He was Engine ering Manager at RNLI for 18 years responsible for the design and developm ent of all the classes of lifeboats (offshore and inshore)\, launching equ ipment and moorings.\n\n15.15 Tea &\; Coffee\n\n15.30 John Tyrer wraps up and concludes the day.\n\n16.00 Close and depart.\n\nImportant notice: Due to limited space in the workshops\, a maximum of 15 in-person delegate places are available. However\, others from further afield are invited to join as an online delegate. A video will be made of the day's proceedings for sharing with all delegates after the event.\n\nTo reserve your place\ , please use the booking form below.
