Ashraf Bastawros, professor of aerospace engineering, has received a $300,000 grant from the Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHSMA). Along with Dr. Kurt Hebert from chemical engineering, Dr. Pranav Shrotriya from mechanical engineering, and Dr. Leonard Bond from the Center of Non Destructive Evaluation, Bastawros will develop advanced detection methods to …Continue reading “Engineering researchers collaborate to study pipeline corrosion”
In an effort to streamline research and economic development units at the university, the Center for Nondestructive Evaluation (CNDE) is one of three centers that will now report directly to the College of Engineering. Originally founded with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory, CNDE moved to the Institute for Physical Research and Technology (IPRT). …Continue reading “Center for Nondestructive Evaluation joins College of Engineering”
Leonard Bond, director for the Center of Nondestructive Evaluation (CNDE) and professor of Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State, was recently published in IEEE Spectrum, a magazine edited by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Bond provided his expertise on the life span of nuclear reactors in an article entitled Fitness Tests for Old Nuclear …Continue reading “Bond publishes article on fitness tests for nuclear reactors”
