The Curators of the University of Missouri for Missouri University of Science and Technology are proposing to use Department of Energy funding to complete a proof-of-concept demonstration of a composite turbine blade that can acquire and transmit data about its structural health. The proposed project seeks to experimentally demonstrate the critical fabrication and function of the blade and monitoring component, thereby providing the concept.
