  • Patent number: 11311971
    Abstract: An optical device that is intended for laser treatment of internal surfaces of a covering part of the leading-edge type, including a collimator that is intended to be connected to a laser source via an optical fibre to produce a laser beam having a collimated and flat spatial pulse profile, a cylindrical lens that is configured to focus the laser beam along a spatial line that is transverse to the propagation of the laser beam thus forming a line-laser-beam, a reflecting optical component that is configured to be able to be introduced into the interior of the covering part and to uniformly reflect the line-laser-beam onto at least one internal surface of the covering part and in directions of incidence that are almost normal to at least one internal surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 16, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 26, 2022
    Assignee: SAFRAN
    Inventors: Magali Melanie Coulaud, Nicolas Cuvillier, Mathieu Loic Ducousso
  • Patent number: 11047829
    Abstract: A method for nondestructive inspection by ultrasound of a bonded assembly is provided. The method comprises two steps, consisting of measuring a thickness of an adhesive joint of the bonded assembly by an ultrasound transducer arranged on the bonded assembly in a determined position, and measuring the degree of adhesion of parts of the bonded assembly by the same ultrasound transducer maintained in the determined position, the degree of adhesion being measured by ZGV Lamb waves.
