Project Title	Modelling and Analysis of Defects in Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Pipelines for Hydrogen Transport
Project Description	FRP has gained momentum as the best alternative to steel pipelines used in hydrogen transport. FRP pipelines offer a durable, corrosion free and light weight option for hydrogen transport. However, these FRP pipelines are subject to cracks, fiber breakage and delamination. The objective of the study is to develop a model for predicting defects in FRP composite pipes for hydrogen transport using a quantitative approach and will be delivered within the Advanced Materials Research Group.

Project Title	In-situ characterisation of manufacturing defects in composite pipes
Project Description	Thermoplastic composite pipes (TCP) in comparison to other pipes have proven beneficial features due to its flexibility which includes being fit for purpose, lightweight and no corrosion. However, during the manufacturing of TCP certain defects may be induced in it due to the effects of some parameters and this can affect the performance of the pipe in the long run as the induced defects might lead to in-service defects. This research will provide an effective repair strategy for early detection of these defects during manufacturing.
