Microwave Inspection
Dielectric properties, and therefore radar transmission abilities, of radomes degrade with weathering, but the mechanisms causing degradation are not well understood. TRI Austin is using its over three decades of…
LAHMP™
Cracks and loose fasteners are continuing structural problems on H-60 helicopters, resulting in unexpected downtime to repair/replace structures. This reduces availability to the war-fighter, increases risk, and is expensive and…
FastenerCam ™
For decades, cold working has been used to extend the fatigue life of aircraft fastener holes. This procedure may be a terminating action or used to extend the inspection interval/lifetime.…
Microstructure
Building upon our successful effort to identify grain structures in titanium alloys, TRI Austin uses a combination of high frequency ultrasonic (UT) transducers and high gain amplifiers in ultrasonic backscattering…

Material Approaches to Mitigate Gap Filler Cracking
Development of crack resistant conductive gap-fillers fits within the Air Force’s goal of investing in low observable maintenance improvements to reduce sustainment costs and aircraft downtime. Commercially available gap-fillers are…
Aircraft Battle Damage Repair (ABDR) with Ultraviolet Cure Resin Systems
Rapid on-aircraft repair techniques for fiberglass composite components are essential to the support of the Air Expeditionary Force concept. Field level damage repair of aircraft is critical to maintaining full…
Aircraft Battle Damage Repair Foams
TRI Austin developed a series of room temperature cure syntactic foam products for Aircraft Battle Damage Repair (ABDR). A single component elevated temperature cured epoxy syntactic foam was developed that…
Efficient On-Aircraft Composite Repair Process Requiring Minimal Support Equipment
More efficient on-aircraft repair processes are needed for structural organic-matrix composite components. In response to this need, TRI Austin developed UV curable matrix resins that provide elevated Tg, and high…
