Abstract:
The recent development of computer simulations of Gray inspections, including projection radiography, backscatter methods and computed tomography gives tools that enable the assessment of an optimum inspection technique, the parameters of that method, the determination of the limits of sensitivity of a given inspection, and the determination of the minimum equipment performance. The models presently include a number of different x-ray generators and detectors, and can handle any complex part geometry derived from a computer aided design (CAD) package. This allows both components and realistic defects to be modeled. A 3D visualization graphical interface using Open GL allows a users access to the variables affecting image quality.. We will illustrate the use of these models as a tool far determining the adequacy of an inspection, the optimal parameters. and the minimum performance required for equipment
