The technique is ideal for use in industries with a low defect tolerance, such as aerospace, wind energy, transportation, tanks/pressure vessels and offshore drilling structures. 2011-01-04 http://www.reinforcedplastics.com/listen/178/laser-bond-inspection/ http://www.reinforcedplastics.com/listen/151/reinforced-plastics-newscast-30-march-2010/ Amanda Jacob previews the contents of the March/April issue of Reinforced Plastics magazine, which is published this week. 2010-03-30 http://www.reinforcedplastics.com/listen/151/reinforced-plastics-newscast-30-march-2010/ http://www.reinforcedplastics.com/listen/142/weekly-podcast-wave-and-tidal-in-the-uk-2gw-by-2020/ It's a widely held view that wave and tidal has great potential, but that it is still an R&D industry only now starting to deploy demonstration projects. So how can we ramp up the various technologies?
