Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) requires high-field magnet designs and has therefore adopted REBCO-based high temperature superconductor (HTS). HTS enables the Toroidal Field (TF) coils to be re-mountable, which unlocks STEP’s vertical maintenance approach, however, re-mountable joints, approximately 18 GJ of stored energy, and lim…

A small, novel, integrated SHM system has been deployed during full-scale testing of a wing fatigue test and a fuselage pressurisation test. Complementary NDE measurement techniques were combined, with inputs from visible and infrared optical sensors, as well as resistance strain gauges. Sensor unitswere deployed at regions of interest and int…
