Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) Systems
for Composite Materials
Box Elder Innovations offers their expertise in solving your NDE and sensor measurement needs. BEI designs ultrasonic and eddy current Nondestructive Evaluation systems primarily for composite material applications, however, our systems also can be used for inspecting metals, ceramics, and other materials of interest. We provide motion control systems, data acquisition hardware, signal generation and conditioning, and system software. Our software includes advanced signal processing and data analysis tools.
Nondestructive testing provides many potential benefits, such as:
Nondestructive testing provides many potential benefits, such as:
- material characterization in terms of manufacturing defects, impact damage, and material properties including measurement of elastic properties and fiber direction
- locating and identifying types of defects
- measuring and tracking of material properties using statistical process control (SPC) practices for providing a history of product quality
- supporting failure investigations
- supporting development and verification of materials and processes for providing verification of product quality and processes reliability
- complementary use of ultrasonics and eddy current for a more complete characterization of defects and damage in carbon fiber composite materials
