Author: Margherita Capriotti

Mingyue (JDP Student) and Paul (Undergraduate Student) presented our work at the S³ 2024 on: Ultrasonic Guided Waves Scattering Spectra by Hybrid Modeling for NDE (Presentation) and “Development of Laboratory System for Engineering Guided Waves in Shear Wave Elastography for Enhanced Soft Tissue Diagnostics” (Poster)

Dr. Capriotti shared her research “From aerospace to biomedical: Non-Destructive Evaluation and damage detection of complex structures”, in a seminar at the Dipartimento DIISM, Facoltà di Ingegneria, Università Politecnica delle Marche, in January 2024, as part of the activities of the Cluster Exploore Aerospace Marche. Thanks Prof. Santecchia for inviting me and coordinating the visit of the advanced B+ labs at UnivPM!

It was great to connect with old and new colleagues and update on the most recent advances on SHM at the IWSHM 2023 in Stanford this past Sept. 2023.
Dr. Capriotti presented her work with JDP student M. Zhang, Prof. A. Spada (University of Palermo) and Prof. F. Lanza di Scalea (UCSD) on “Analyses by Global-Local method of Ultrasonic Guided Waves propagation in pristine and defective plates for accurate quantitative SHM”.

Dr. Capriotti attended the ASC 38th Technical Conference 2023 in Boston/Woburn this past Sept. 2023. It was great to share our work on “Characterization of Ply-Waviness Manufacturing Defect in Composite Aerospace Laminates by Ultrasonic Scattering Analysis”, learn about exciting research on composites characterization and manufacturing, and connect with old and new colleagues experts in the composites field.

Also, the San Diego team composed of Dr. M. Tehrani (UCSD), Dr. H. Kim (UCSD), Dr, Capriotti (SDSU), Dr. Diaz Montiel (USD) and Dr. Venkataraman (SDSU) announced the next ASC 39th Technical Conference 2024, Oct. 21-24, in San Diego. This conference will be a joint event with the US-Japan Symposium on Composite Materials and the ASTM D30 60th Anniversary Meeting !

Dr. Capriotti presented the work “Ultrasonic Guided Waves Defect Signatures for Damage Identification in Composite Aerospace Structures” by M. Capriotti, K.Varela, A. Ellison, E.H. Kim, F. Lanza di Scalea, H. Kim

Congratulations Mingyue on such a big step towards your JDP !

Mark Smeets defended his MS Thesis on “Impact Damage Characterization in Composite Aerospace Structures using Thermal Signal Reconstruction”. Congratulations!
