| 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. |
