ENERCOMP Seminar Series
Current monitoring techniques based on guided elastic waves for metals, composites, and other applications
Thursday, July 17th, 2025
ABSTRACT
At the Fraunhofer IKTS site in Dresden-Klotzsche our focus is on developing advanced non-destructive testing solutions for many materials.
Automated testing and monitoring technologies are developed based on ultrasonics and guided elastic waves for the detection of manufacturing defects, from defects occurring during operation to continuous structural monitoring.
This seminar covers the entire development chain of a monitoring system: from the model-based design of the sensor networks, through the production and integration of the sensors, to the development and provision of the necessary measuring hardware. This seminar provides an overview of current non-destructive testing and monitoring techniques, presents system integration options and discusses the possibilities and limitations of the methods.
About the speaker
Dr. Kilian Tschöke received the Ph.D. degree in mathematics from the Technical University of Dresden, Dresden, Germany, in 2019.
Since 2011, he has been working with the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS, Dresden, initially as a Student Assistant and later as a Research Associate.
He currently leads the Model-Based Data Evaluation working group for the computer-aided design of sensor systems. His fields of work include the modeling and simulation of elastic waves in complex, heterogeneous, and anisotropic materials, and the subsequent signal evaluation and statistical investigations on the quality of a monitoring system.
