Ultrasonic propagation, ultrasound interactions with defects. Non-contact generation and detection of ultrasound, particularly using either EMAT or laser-based techniques. We are studying the alternative methods of generating ultrasound without contact with the test-piece. We have a range of pulsed lasers for generation and laser interferometers for detection in addition to miniature EMATs. Industrial applications are investigated on hot or rough or thin or moving components.

The CRTI develops non-destructive methods using ultrasonic, electrical, electromagnetic, X- and gamma radiation. These methods are applied to the characterisation and evaluation of materials (structure, defects, coatings etc.). In addition, it examines and optimises hardware and software relating to testing techniques. The CRTI develops and implements signal and image processing-based techniques to be applied in the non-destructive testing (NDT) field. In particular, its objectives are the development of systems permitting the automatic acquisition of one-dimensional or multidimensional signals and their processing.

The Centre Val de Loire National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA) is a Public Scientific, Cultural and Professional Institution (EPSCP) established by the French Decree No.2013-521 of 19 June 2013. The Centre Val de Loire INSA is a public engineering school of the INSA Group. Located on the Blois and Bourges campuses in the Centre Val de Loire region, the Centre Val de Loire INSA trains multidisciplinary and entrepreneurial landscape architects and engineers over five years, equipping them with an inclusive, open mind and a high level of scientific and humanistic knowledge. The Centre-Val de Loire INSA develops a cutting-edge multidisciplinary scientific policy, shared within the Centre-Val de Loire University Community of Universities and Institutions (COMUE), including Orléans University, Tours François-Rabelais University and research organisations in the Centre Region. The Centre-Val de Loire INSA's commitment to broadening its relations with the business world and move innovation on is reflected in the twofold teaching and research responsibilities that most of its educational staff undertake. Research area includes Non Destructive Testing (NDT) and Condition Monitoring (CM) involving nonlinear UT, AE, especially related to vibration analysis, characterisation of complex materials, signal and image processing.

CUE primarily focusses on ultrasonic transduction applied across a wide range of industrial applications. The NDT/CM activities encompass transducer design, sensor deployment, bespoke instrumentation, signal/image processing and automated data interpretation. Moreover, the research investigates a number of delivery platforms, including fixed-axis robotic systems, autonomous robotic vehicles and UAVs. In addition, CUE develops laser induced phased array systems and acoustic emission transducers and its research activities have recently expanded to include sensor systems for in-process monitoring of weld and additive manufacturing processes. CUE collaborates with many external organisations and has a track record of delivering solutions to our industrial partners.
