An expert system for optimal repair and management of reinforced concrete highway bridges
We aimed to develop an expert system to enable the optimisation of repairs and maintenance solutions for reinforced concrete highway bridges
Robot tool positioning and alignment
One of the main applications of machine vision in industry is in the alignment and positioning of tools that are used in a large variety of tasks
Accelerated Environmental Corrosion Tests
MERI has facilities available for humidity testing and neutral salt spray testing to ASTM Standard B117
Novel joining techniques
This project will investigate novel processes for joining high strength stainless steel grades to zinc coated mild steel which can be easily transferred and integrated cost effectively into current automotive manufacture
Localised Corrosion Techniques
Within the Centre for Corrosion Technology, facilities exist for conducting localised corrosion tests.
Testing Services
We have a wide range of capabilities for testing concrete at the Materials and Engineering Research Institute
Understanding the failure mechanisms of coatings on contaminated steel substrates
The project will determine the method by which coatings on contaminated surfaces fail through the development of protocols
