The subject area "Non-Destructive Testing" (NDT) deals with all non-destructive testing methods for quality assurance, inspection and continuous monitoring of systems, components and structures. Special focus topics of the Chair of Non-destructive Testing are:
- Detection of damage in concrete and reinforced concrete
- Structural health monitoring of structures using wired and wireless sensor technology (predictive maintenance and service life analysis)
- NDT techniques for lightweight composites (CFRP, GFRP)
- Further development of the signal-based acoustic emission analysis
- Quality Assurance in the field of Additive Manufacturing (AM)
- Numerical simulation of NDT testing techniques
- Further development of materials with, for example, superhydrophobic or self-healing properties
- Nondestructive examination of historic objects
- Biomechanical investigations with the Klinikum rechts der Isar
- Archaeological forensics and support of law enforcement activities
- Drone aerial assessment of buildings and facilities (including IR thermography)
- Industrial Computer Tomography (CT) analysis of items related to construction, mechanical engineering, art, aircraft, automotive and historical objects
