MESMESH Ultra - thin conductive ceramic mesh to monitor stress and wear on a steel surface

Coordinator: UAB MODERNIOS E-TECHNOLOGIJOS (LT)

The aim of the project is the development of a pre-commercial prototype mould with built in continuous structural health monitoring. This will be achieved by carrying out research work appropriate for developing femtosecond laser metal processing techniques to produce smooth walled and depth-controlled grooves on metal parts. In these groves a TiN/Al2O3 composite will be sintered in a few micron thick layer that will work as a wave guide for high frequency pulsing. The measurements will be processed by an FPGA or appropriate dedicated DSP module, to give the user a real time indicator of the …

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €1.9M toward a total project budget of €2.6M — a funding rate of 74%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 3.1 years from 2009-10-01 to 2012-10-31.
