The basic analysis of prerequisites for training and practical training virtualization in non-destructive testing is carried out. The current requirements for the training of nondestructive testing specialists are considered. Presented the arguments in favor of the importance of the role of radiographic method of radiation control (RC) in solving the problems of the nuclear industry. The features of the RC, which significantly affect the organization of practical classes and the profitability of training, are noted. The main groups of requirements for specialists in the course of practical training are listed. Methods of processing and visualizing information about the structure of dense three-dimensional bodies are considered. A simplified alternative is proposed, considering the specifics of the problem stated. The principle for constructing and processing the image of digital samples copies is given, making it possible to obtain a close to real metal samples X-ray shooting image. The basic physical principles underlying the digital model are considered and formalized. Synthesized digital radiographs are demonstrated.

Abstract Through Silicon Via (TSV) is the most promising technology for vertical interconnection in novel three-dimensional chip architectures. Reliability and quality assessment necessary for process development and manufacturing require appropriate non-destructive testing techniques to detect cracks and delamination defects with sufficient penetration and imaging capabilities. The current paper presents the application of two acoustically based methods operating in the GHz-frequency band for the assessment of the integrity of TSV structures.

Welding work is a connection process between the structure and the materials. This process is used in the construction, maintenance and repair especially mechanical engineering. This study discusses the type of welding used in the industry, mainly involving the pipeline welds. On-demand need to every work process when finishing weld requires quality tests to ensure compliance to the standards required. Monitoring through the display image has long been used in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Various methods of monitoring used in NDT focused on Ultrasonic Tomography (UT) as a method used in NDT and as an option for the future. Previous imaging result was in two-dimensional (2D) and then upgraded to a three-dimensional image (3D). Besides, there is potential of 3D imaging beyond the existing limits in terms of size, material thickness, especially for welding steel pipes. Achievement through research of existing pipe size so far outside diameter of 200 mm and a thickness of 5.8 mm should be limited in view of the obstacles to enhanced image resolution is less effective when compared to other tomography methods.

The inspection and control of sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFR) is a major issue for the nuclear industry. Ultrasonic solutions are under study because of the opacity of liquid sodium. In this paper, the use of leaky Lamb waves is considered for non-destructive testing (NDT) on parallel and immersed structures assimilated as plates. The first phase of our approach involved studying the propagation properties of leaky Lamb waves. Equations that model the propagation of Lamb waves in an immersed plate were solved numerically. The phase velocity can be experimentally measured using a two dimensional Fourier transform. The group velocity can be experimentally measured using a short-time Fourier transform technique. Attenuation of leaky Lamb waves is mostly due to the re-emission of energy into the surrounding fluid, and it can be measured by these two techniques.

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging and infrared (IR) thermography are powerful tools in many areas in engineering and sciences. Their joint use is of great interest in the buildings sector, allowing inspection and non-destructive testing of elements as well as an evaluation of the energy efficiency. When dealing with large and complex structures, as buildings (particularly historical) generally are, 3D thermography inspection is enhanced by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV—also known as drones). The aim of this paper is to propose a simple and cost-effective system for aerial 3D thermography of buildings. Special attention is thus payed to instrument and reconstruction software choice. After a very brief introduction to IR thermography for buildings and 3D thermography, the system is described. Some experimental results are given to validate the proposal.

Optical Non-Destructive Testing (ONDT) can be applied as penetrating elemental and structure analysis technology in the pigments identification field. Three-dimensional video microscopy, Raman microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy are employed to measure the materials based on a Qing Dynasty meticulous painting. The results revealed that the dark yellow area within the decorative patterns was presented due to the interaction of Emerald green and hematite, and the bright yellow edge area was delineated by Cu–Zn–Pb composition. The interesting thing is that an artificial synthetic ultramarine blue was checked in the painting. According to the first synthesized time of ultramarine blue and Paris green, the time limit of the painting completion can be identified. The principle of Pigment subtractive colorant and nitikaset method were employed to interpreting the results. Optical testing combined with the area of cultural relic identification can be a potential method to build an expert identification system successfully. This work also help lay the optical method groundwork for further cultural relic identification, sterilization, and preservation.

Electromagnetic thermography and optical thermography are both important non-destructive testing (NDT) methods that have been widely used in the fields of modern aerospace, renewable energy, nuclear industry, etc. The excitation modes are crucial whose performances have a decisive effect on the detection results. Previous studies mainly focused on the physics mechanism, applications, and signal processing algorithms. However, the instrument configuration is rarely presented. This paper is to introduces the recently designed excitation sources of electromagnetic thermography and optical thermography detection systems, respectively. These instruments involved L-shaped and Shuttle-shaped sensor structures for electromagnetic thermography and multi-modes excitation for optical thermography. Besides, the topologies and operating principles are shown in detail. Experimental results are carried out to verify the practicability and reliability of the proposed systems.

Abstract Among modern measuring techniques, which are designed to reconstruct and to measure three-dimensional aspects of microstructure on mesoscopic scale lengths, the X-ray microtomography seems to be very well suited to yield this information. Generally, X-ray microtomography is the X-ray based non-destructive testing method that was first developed for medical purposes and only recently applied to materials characterization. Monitoring materials’ microstructure using X-ray microtomography allows reconstructing a three-dimensional image of the specimen from non-destructive, serial sections and processing it in order to visualize and measure three-dimensional features. Thus valuable information can be deduced from the correlation of measured stress and strain values with a number of internal geometrical parameters which cannot be measured at the specimen surface.
