Patent: Robotic Guidance Method with user orientation detection 1008886.

Optical fiber Bragg gratings are embedded within the composite lay-up of drive shafts during filament winding for monitoring vital operational parameters including buckling. We report strain measurement results, under torque loading, for embedded and externally attached sensors with different orientations with respect to the axis of the shaft.

EureComp: EUReCOMP aims to provide sustainable methods towards recycling and reuse of composite materials, coming from components used in various industries, such as aeronautics and wind energy. The main pathways to achieve circularity will include: i) repairing, repurposing and redesigning parts from end-of-life large scale products and ii) recycling and reclamation of the materials used in such parts; thus, accomplishing reduction of waste and transformation to high-added value products.
