Research

In our research we aim to cover the underlying science involved in a particular ultrasonic measurement technique, with the aim that what we are doing ultimately has some use in real world applications. We work together with other Academic and Industrial researchers, and also try to involve potential end users of the technology in some way.

Some of our research is focused on fundamental physics, with no immediately obvious applications, such as fundamental studies of elastic constants in magnetic materials. Some of our research sits at a high TRL level, and we engage with industry on these high TRL R&D projects, delivering impact through the Centre for Industrial Ultrasonics (CIU).

We are currently rewriting our research webpages, but in the meantime you can access the content at the links above or below.

Applications of Ultrasound

These pages detail applications of ultrasound in industry.

Flow measurement

Information about flow measurement is currently available here:

Other industrial inspections

The group's research includes other areas, such as:

Scientific applications

Details about scientific applications of ultrasound are available here, covering:

  • Inspection of semiconductor membrane resonances
  • Single crystal elastic constant measurements

Many of our research papers can be directly downloaded from the Warwick Repository - WRAP:

Steve Dixon's WRAP papers
