## Description

Develop an NDE technique with capacitive resitivity imaging \(CRI\) technology providing the capability to map variations of bulk low-frequency electrical properties within a structure and sensitive to any defects \(e\.g\. cracks and fractures\) or alterations \(e\.g\. corrosion\) affecting either electrical resistivity or dielectric properties of a material\. Develop the NDE technique in the following areas of military exploitation: • In-situ evaluation of structural materials covered by sheathing, cladding, panelling, paint, tiles, flooring, insulating blankets, spray-on sealants or similar; • Detection and monitoring of moisture and/or increased salinity in structural or building materials; • Detection and monitoring of thermal anomalies in structural materials \(without direct contact\)\. The work is to be undertaken in accordance with the SBRI application 59098-446144 submitted and held by Innovate UK for the Non-Destructive Evaluation programme\. Key deliverables are: 1\. Proof of concept that CRI technology is transferable from earth science and can deliver tangible benefits for military NDE; \(20/11/2015\) 2\. A design concept for a highly portable and rapidly deployable CRI sensor array and instrumentation, suitable for in-situ military NDE; \(07/12/2015\) Additional information: To view this notice, register as a supplier here: http://www\.contracts\.mod\.uk/delta/signup\.html?userType=supplier and search for the notice with reference 'GB-Bristol: SBRI Challenge - Non Destructive Evaluation'\.
