Nondestructive Evaluation of Damaged and As-Fabricated Encapsulated Ceramic Panels

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA501051 | Open PDF

Abstract:

X-ray computed tomography XCT and ultrasonic testing UT are two major nondestructive evaluation NDE methods used to inspect a wide variety of materials and components. Current work in the NDE of materials at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory includes inspection and analysis of individual ceramic targets and ceramic panels. A number of samples have been evaluated using XCT and UT, including encapsulated panels. XCT and UT results from NDE studies of damaged and as-fabricated encapsulated ceramic panels will be shown and discussed. The results from the two NDE methods will be compared and contrasted.
