B1981 - Laboratory of measures and non- destructive controls P

Learning outcomes

The laboratory aims to provide practical knowledge in the field of measurement and non-destructive investigation techniques for composite materials. At the end of the course the student is able to: - know the main metrological characteristics of the sensors; -deal with the choice of the most suitable sensors for the type of measurement to be carried out; -know the principles of operation and use of some types of sensors for investigations and diagnostics in composite materials; - know the main elements of the measurement chain for the acquisition and processing of signals. - know the main characteristics of the instruments for non-destructive testing; - select the most suitable instrumentation for the type of checks to be carried out; - know the principles of operation and use of systems for investigations and diagnostics in composite materials.
