- W3208368997 abstract "The request in the aerospace industry for novel methods and tools that enable the optimization of the industrial operation is continuous. Considering the rapid growth in global air traffic passenger demand over the last years, the aerospace industry is facing great challenges in the production and maintenance of its products. The optimization of the industrial operations can significantly lower the production costs, accelerate the manufacturing processes and achieve most efficient maintenance of the products, while in parallel comply with the strict safety regulations. The objective of this doctoral thesis is to introduce new metrology tools that can perform inspections in large aerospace components and optimize the material assessment processes. These novel tools implement the technology that is developed in Computer Vision and Machine Learning. The last two decades these two areas of computer science enjoy rapid progress and they have introduced new methods with very broad applications. This technology that is already mature in these field is adapted to the requirements of the aerospace industry and combined with existed methods, in order to produce new metrology tools especially designed for industrial applications. Since this is an industrial thesis and most of the research work has been carried out in an SME, the primary focus is the development of metrology tools that can be integrated to the production line or the assessment analysis processes of the industrial sector. The developed metrology tools can perform inspections and quantitative assessment of material damage in two different scales: Macroscopic level: the aim is to develop tools that can perform inspections in large scale aerospace components. More specifically, the main goal is the design and assembly of a metrology system that performs inspections in specific locations along the large surface of an aerospace component and produce accurate digital representations of the inspected areas. The metrology system is composed of two parts: the translation sub-system and the vision sub-system. The role of the translation sub-system is performed by a robotic arm. The development of a vision sub-system, able to produce accurate three-dimensional models of the component’s surface areas, the integration to the robotic device and finally the definition of the operating methodology of the created metrology system is the focus of this work. Subsequently, the developed metrology system was used to perform measurements in carbon composite components. These measurements were performed in the framework of a collaboration with AIRBUS, in a project that was aiming to improve the composite repairing process followed by the company. Although, the individual elements of the metrology system exist and are documented in the scientific bibliography, the integration of all these elements in one complete metrology system and the definition of a measuring methodology that can be incorporated in the industrial processes is the original contribution of this work. The uniqueness of this system is that it can perform inspections in targeted locations along the surface of large aerospace components in a fully automated manner. Microscopic level: the focus is on the development of tools based on Machine Learning that aim to optimize the techniques currently used in Quantitative Fractography. The Machine Learning methods are divided in supervised, where a pre-trained model is necessary for performing predictions, and unsupervised, where the algorithm can perform predictions without prior training. The supervised methods are implemented in the topographic characterization of the fracture surfaces, while the unsupervised methods are used to cluster fracture surfaces of different samples produced under different experimental conditions. Currently, the topographic characterization of the fracture surfaces relies on manual inspections by trained experts that can identify the different micro-structure modes on the fracture surface and then quantify the area that each mode occupies in the SEM fracture image. The machine learning algorithm developed in this doctoral thesis is based on Convolutional Neural Networks, after being trained achieves to classify the micro-structure modes in fracture surface and quantify their relative appearance with very high accuracy. These methods require human input only during the training process. After the training process, the neural network can make predictions in any new image in a fully automated manner. Thus, these Machine Learning methods can replace the human-based current processes with automated tools that can be easily integrated in the material assessment analysis of the industry. Additionally, an unsupervised machine learning pipeline is introduced for the creation of a tool capable of clustering a dataset of fracture images, produced with different experimental conditions. The tool is implemented on a fracture images dataset of tungsten heavy alloys, with different tungsten mass percentage and manages to accurately group the images that belong to the same sample. This tool does not require any pre-training and it can operate directly on any dataset of fracture images. The clustering accuracy is very high on a dataset of fracture images with very similar textural characteristics. Adding a supervised algorithm that requires minimal training to the initial pipeline of the proposed tool extends its capabilities in classifying the different clusters of the fracture images. The classification accuracy remains very high, while other methods currently used by the industry when applied in the specific dataset are proven to fail in classifying the images according to the different experimental conditions." @default.
