| Abstract Scope |
The increasing use of composite materials as primary structures provides ongoing challenge for non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques. For example X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is increasingly being used for industrial inspection. However, the inspection of multi-material wide aspect ratio components using XCT often results in compromises being made in the resultant imaging quality. Typically, as a consequence of the scanning parameters chosen, high density regions can be underexposed or lower density regions overexposed due to the highly contrasting attenuation behaviour of each multi-material layer. This is compounded by large changes in attenuation path length as component is rotated during the XCT scan. This paper presents a novel method for combining projections from multiple scans in order to facilitate improved defect detection and feature recognition within an industrial setting. |
