Background
Before joining Cranfield in 2013, Pavan
was at the TWI NDT Validation Centre Wales, working on the non-destructive
evaluation of metals and composite materials. He was the recipient of the
Prince of Wales Innovation Scholarship awarded by the University of Wales in
2010 to take up doctoral research in using Thermography to characterise defects
and damage occurring in advanced composite materials. He holds a PhD from the University of Wales Trinity St David, an MPhil in
Material Technology from Swansea University, UK and a BEng in Mechanical
Engineering from Anna University, India. He is a Chartered Engineer (CEng) and
a full professional member of both the Institution of Mechanical Engineers
(MIMechE) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (MIET).
Current activities
Pavan Addepalli is a Lecturer in Degradation Assessment based with the Centre for Digital Engineering and Manufacturing, Manufacturing Theme at Cranfield University.
Pavan is currently working on an Innovate UK project seeking to create a digital twin capable of providing maintenance decisions. He was the Co-investigator for the Lloyd's Register project that looks at creating an inspection system capable of identifying counterfeit electronic components together. Additionally, Pavan supports the EPSRC awarded Platform Grant investigating material behaviour of advanced materials and composites looking at the influence of multiple degradation mechanisms. He continues to expand his research in the area of Non-destructive testing methods, especially Thermography.
Pavan's research interest include:
- Thermography - Passive & Active
- Non-destructive testing (NDT): 3D X-CT, 3D Imaging, Ultrasonic testing and Dye Penetrant Testing
- Mechanical testing & material characterisation
- Composites - near and sub-surface defect and damage assessment
- Counterfeit electronic component detection
- Through-life Engineering Services
- Digital architecture to support servitization - digital twins
