In addition to the article on CND/END in Aquitaine, here is a list of regional resources in Aquitaine.
The role of NDT in training courses in Aquitaine
- Licence Pro 2MCI (Industrial Measurement and Control Management), UBx - Pessac - 140 h of NDT.
- IUT MP, UBx - Pessac - 10 h of CND
- MATMECA, IPB, Pessac - 30 h NDT simulation option (CIVA CEA, Comsol Multiphysics).
- ENSCPB-MATMECA, IPB, Pessac - Apprenticeship / sandwich course in engineering Structures & Composites - 40 h of NDT
- MASTER GSAT in Mérignac :
* In CMI IMSAT curriculum:
- M1: NDT = 6h lecture, 4h TD and 20h TP (IR thermography, US immersion, US manual, Eddy current, Penetrant testing + Magnetoscopy). Students therefore see 6 techniques.
- M2 ISC: " NDT of composite materials "6h lecture, 2h TD and 8h TP (TP immersion tank + IR thermography)
* Licence Pro IMA: CND = 4h lectures and 16h practical work
* In L3 MISMI: CND exempted from the course Physics and Engineering and routes Mechanical engineering 13h20 of TD.
Our resources
- IMA platform with 6 NDT practical tests (IR thermography, US immersion, US manual, eddy current, penetrant testing, magnetic particle inspection) for UBx training courses, research laboratories and for use by industry (SMEs, SMIs, GGs)
- Laboratory equipment and resources (I2M = ultrasound, thermography, acoustic emission, impedancemetry - ICMCB = radiography, LOMA = optical techniques, ...)
- Developments: solutions to industrial needs, new technologies, new procedures. Here are a few examples:
* A I2M (APy Department) :
- Design, production and marketing (via CANOE) of air-coupled ultrasonic transducers => non-contact NDT
- Fast, detailed imaging of composites, manufacturing defects (delamination), in-use damage (impacted areas),...
- Multi-element guided wave system - Large metal or composite parts NDT application with significant reduction in inspection time
- Modeling, numerical simulation, optimization of NDT processes
- Experimental implementation on industrial prototypes (contracts, FUI, ANR, etc.)
- Technology transfer, commercialization (SATT Aquitaine), services (CANOE)
* Transverse axis CEND :
interactions between I2M departments and the LCTS in Bordeaux, pooling of resources and complementary skills to meet a recurring industrial need: from the manufacture to the use of composites, including their non-destructive characterization (mechanical properties), damage, non-destructive testing, durability and damage tolerance (structural calculations taking into account the characteristics of NDT and NDT measurements, and experimental testing). A 4-year project funded by the Aquitaine Regional Council.
- IMA platform with 6 NDT workstations.
- CANOE, a technology transfer platform in the field of organic composites and advanced materials, particularly nanostructured materials, in priority sectors for the Aquitaine region: aeronautics, transport (automotive, marine), renewable energies (photovoltaics, wind energy, sustainable chemistry) - includes a NDT and NDE department.
- ASTRIUM platform - Airbus Defence & Space: NDT using radiography, tomography, optical methods, shearography, thermography, etc.
- Composite Aquitaine, NDT service and equipment dedicated to their needs.
- SPS, NDT service and equipment dedicated to their needs.
- Tomo-Adour, Dassault Aviation...
