AI Contract Overview

NASA Langley Research Center is offering companies the opportunity to obtain licensing rights—either exclusive or nonexclusive—to commercialize, manufacture, and market a cutting-edge Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) technology designed to detect and characterize hidden damage in composite materials. This innovative method requires only single-sided access to the specimen and utilizes trapped energy analysis to identify damage that traditional approaches like ultrasound cannot reveal, especially damage obscured by near-surface imperfections. The technology leverages advanced 3D ultrasonic simulation tools to better understand damage caused by multilayer delamination, which is critical for making informed repair and replacement decisions in aerospace composites. Improved damage detection has the potential to reduce unnecessary repairs and prevent catastrophic failures during service. NASA does not provide funding as part of these licensing opportunities and is seeking interested companies to express their interest by contacting their Office of Strategic Analysis and Business Development. Respondents are invited to share their company background and the nature of their interest in licensing the technology. This opportunity is part of NASA's efforts to promote the commercialization of its research and conduct preliminary market research, with the potential for formal licensing arrangements to follow. No direct procurement will result from this notice, and further information on licensing other NASA technologies is available through their Technology Transfer Portal.

Full Description

NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Scientists at NASA Langley Research Center have developed a new Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method for identifying and characterizing hidden damage in composite materials. The new technique requires only single sided access to the test specimen and uses trapped energy analysis to detect and characterize damage that was previously obscured. Current methods, usually ultrasound or laser ultrasound, cannot characterize imperfections below or hidden by near surface damage. The new method uses 3D custom ultrasonic simulation tools to study ultrasonic guided wave behavior and energy trapping due to multilayer delamination damage. Understanding the extent of composite damage is essential for repair and replacement decisions for aerospace composites. Better understanding of composite damage could eliminate unnecessary repairs and aid in preventing catastrophic in-service failure. NASA is seeking to license this technology commercially. To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to contact@example.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this FBO notice and your preferred contact information. Please also provide the nature of your interest in the technology along with a brief background of your company. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at http://technology.nasa.gov/ . These responses are provided to members of NASA Langleys Office of Strategic Analysis and Business Development OSACB for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. If direct licensing interest results from this posting, OSACB will follow the required formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
