Non destructive Testing (NDT) report ( Aerospace engineering) 2000 words inc references

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a wide group of analysis techniques used in science and technology industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing damage. You’re required to produce an academic report which answers the four tasks given below: Task 1: Describe the NDT process and how it is used for inspection for aerospace structures. You’re required to attend the lab and carry out the NDT exercise. You will be marked on task by the Professional Staff. (200 words) Task 2: Below are six common NDT techniques: 1. Dye penetrant 2. Magnetic particle 3. Ultrasound 4. Eddy current 5. Radiographic 6. Acoustic emission For each, describe the process highlighting the tools used for examining aerospace structures, its advantages and disadvantages, and its typical usage. (700 words) Task 3: Describe and evaluate 2 uncommon methods of NDT utilised within the aerospace industry and explain why the chosen techniques are especially suitable for this application? These should not include the ones mentioned in Task 2. (400 words) Task 4: Figure 1 shows the nose wheel assembly for a T4 Harrier. Your task is to investigate the component sufficiently for you to recommend an appropriate material for the nose wheel fork. Your selection should take into account of manufacturing technology and sustainability of the material. The points indicated A to D have been identified as high fatigue points and therefore require regular preventive maintenance. Your task is to recommend NDT techniques for each of the identified points. Your recommendations should take into consideration the possible failure modes for each location and suitable accessibility. For each recommendation, briefly describe the process to be used including any preparation and recovery work required. (700 words) Specific Document Included
