Researchers hope to prevent catastrophes with next-generation sensors

UBCO researchers are investigating ways to ensure wear-resistant coatings, designed to protect turbines, propellers, bridges and other structures, are not deteriorating over time. Credit: UBCO

As the wind and rain pound the blades of a wind turbine, UBC Okanagan researchers carefully monitor screens hundreds of kilometers away, analyzing whether the blades’ coatings can withstand the onslaught. While this was only a test in a lab, the researchers are working to improve the way structures…
