ZPT Project S2
S2 - Evaluation of critical defects and structures by in-situ and high resolution methods
In general, heterogeneities strongly determine the properties of a material, independently of the material itself. However, in many cases, the main question is under which conditions the heterogeneity becomes critical. In order to answer this question, different aspects such as the intrinsic heterogeneous structure of a material, its geometry, loading and environment have to be considered.

TT - Technology Transfer and Educational
Knowledge-management and education of the K-Project employees are key issues for a successful research centre. Likewise is the effective transfer of know-how within the research network as well as between project-partners, the industry and the public a fundamental condition for up-to-date research. A strong co-operation with international NDT-associations like the Österreichische Gesellschaft für Zerstörungsfreie Prüfung (ÖGfZP) and the international committee of NDT (ICNDT), and with various certification and standardization groups will further help to enhance the introduction of new NDT methods. Hence, central goals of this project are:
- Efficient knowledge management
- Knowledge and technology transfer
- Enhanced awareness and visibility of the K-Project in public
- Co-operation with international NDT-associations with the aim of:
- International harmonization of NDT education and qualification
- Development of national and international NDT-standards especially for new NDT methods like computed tomography, active thermography, laser-ultrasonics, optical coherence tomography…
