During the event, business meetings were held with business partners and scientific experts in the field of non-destructive testing.
Together with Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences N.P. Aleshin and M.V. Grigoryev, Deputy Director for Research of the FSAI Research and Training Centre "Welding and Testing" at Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Vladimir Britvin prepared a paper entitled "Automated Quality Testing of Polymer Composite Materials in Production and in Service", which addresses ultrasonic quality testing of parts made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic and glass fibre reinforced plastic. Together with K.E. Abbakumov and M.Ya. Pushilina of the Department of Electroacoustics and Ultrasonic Engineering of Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University "LETI", he prepared a paper entitled "Propagation of Surface Waves in a Finely Layered Inhomogeneous Elastic Medium".
In addition, ULTRAKRAFT JSC was one of the sponsors of the UZDM-2016 conference.
For many years, the conference "Ultrasonic Flaw Detection of Metals and Advanced Materials (UZDM)" has been known to Russian and international specialists as one of the most competent and serious gatherings of non-destructive testing professionals. It discusses theoretical, technological and instrumentation issues of the acoustic method, which invariably attracts leading specialists from institutes, universities and industrial enterprises from all parts of Russia as well as from neighbouring and other foreign countries.
The conference is organised by the FSUE "Research Institute of Bridges and Flaw Detection of the Federal Railway Transport Agency" and the FSBEI HE "Emperor Alexander I St. Petersburg State Transport University", with the support of the "Non-Destructive Physical Testing Methods" section of the Scientific Council on Condensed Matter Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Russian Society for Non-Destructive Testing and Technical Diagnostics, the National Agency for Welding Control and the Union of Railway Equipment Manufacturers.
