Imperial College London-UK Research Centre in NDE
21st
century industry faces ever more challenging requirements to achieve
greater integrity and safety performance, and adopt new materials and
designs. Novel NDE technologies are often crucial to making this
possible.
RCNDE is an EPSRC-sponsored collaboration between industry and
academia to coordinate research into NDE technologies, and to ensure
research topics are relevant to the medium to longer-term needs of
industry. RCNDE continues to be founded on the guiding principles of
world-class scientific research and industrial application. RCNDE's
vision is to see NDE transform into a fully integrated part of the
engineering life cycle. RCNDE will progressively link up with other
disciplines, particularly structural integrity, materials science and
engineering design.
