The lab studies technologies for inspecting materials and structures without destroying them and for preventing accidents.

AboutAbout the lab
Studying nondestructive testing and accident prevention.
The Kasai Lab studies nondestructive testing, which examines materials and structures without destroying them, technologies for preventing fracture accidents, and statistical analysis and risk analysis of industrial accidents.
Its research includes various monitoring technologies, statistical risk analysis techniques, and risk-based maintenance.
The lab's website has videos showing flaw detection with a newly developed eddy current probe and detection of flammable gas with infrared.
The website also displays the motto "Cheerful! Energetic! Friendly! Positive!"
Key terms
- Nondestructive testing
- Inspection that examines materials and structures for flaws and other defects without destroying them
- Eddy current testing
- An inspection method that uses eddy currents to detect cracks and other flaws in electrically conductive materials
- Risk curve
- A curve showing the relationship between the cumulative frequency of accidents and the magnitude of damage on a log-log graph

Its research also covers various monitoring technologies, statistical risk analysis techniques, and risk-based maintenance.
*Illustrative imageEddy Current Testing Probe with a Copper Core
Eddy current testing probes usually use a ferrite or iron core. In this research, a specially designed copper core is used to concentrate a strong excitation current at the tip of the core, making flaws easier to detect.
Statistical Risk Analysis of Accidents
For accidents at industrial facilities, the lab has proposed a method of statistically analyzing risk using risk curves, which show the relationship between cumulative frequency and the magnitude of damage on a log-log graph.
