Research summary
AI-generated

Desmond Bourgeois works on evaluating the quality, reliability, and long-term durability of welded and metal components used in industries like power generation, pipelines, and aerospace. Much of the work involves ultrasonic imaging and other non-destructive testing methods to inspect welds and materials for hidden damage, such as hydrogen-related cracking or fatigue, without having to cut them open. This research is aimed at helping engineers predict how long welded structures like pressure vessels, pipelines, and steel welds can safely remain in service.
