The webinar will outline recent advancements in portable equipment design, enabling international deployment and on-site inspections, as well as integration into manufacturing and repair workflows. Case studies will be shared to highlight practical applications, including live strain analysis of composite structures under simulated load, offering a unique insight into structural integrity and performance. Finally, we will discuss how shearography is being incorporated into classification society guidance and approval processes, ensuring that this innovative technology can help raise safety, reliability, and confidence in the use of composite vessels across the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Agenda<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Presentations by John Tyrer and Peter Amin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Audience Q&amp;A and discussion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Register<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To register for the webinar, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/marri-uk-webinar-the-role-of-laser-shearography-in-inspection-and-approval-tickets-1632478419899?aff=oddtdtcreator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6c531013 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Presenters<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6c531013 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:31% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/marri-uk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/john-tyrer-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2443 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/marri-uk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/john-tyrer-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/marri-uk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/john-tyrer-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/marri-uk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/john-tyrer-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/marri-uk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/john-tyrer.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>John Tyrer, Professor of Optical Instrumentation at Loughborough University<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Tyrer specialises in the development of innovative and bespoke laser based imaging products and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has developed a device that can identify tiny amounts of explosive particles \u2013 invisible to the naked eye \u2013 and could provide the solution to better protecting the travelling public from acts of terrorism.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 36%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Peter Amin<\/strong>, Senior NDE Specialist, Lloyd&#8217;s Register<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lloyd&#8217;s Register (LR) is&nbsp;a global technical and professional services organization and one of the world&#8217;s leading maritime classification societies, founded in 1760 to assess and certify the safety and seaworthiness of ships.&nbsp;LR provides classification, compliance, and consultancy services to the marine, offshore, and other complex engineering industries, helping them meet safety and environmental standards throughout the lifecycle of their assets.
