  • VARIABLE ZOOM X-RAY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY METHOD FOR COMPOSITES
    Publication number: 20220381705
    Abstract: A variable zoom X-ray CT method can significantly improve resolution for structures with large in-plane dimensions, for example to detect complex structural damage due to low-velocity impact in large thin composite laminate panels. The variable zoom method comprises emitting an X-ray beam from an X-ray source to project a region of interest (ROI) of a specimen within a field of view (FOV) onto a detector. Projections of the ROI are scanned with the detector while rotating the specimen about a rotational axis of a specimen stage and translating the specimen stage along an acquisition trajectory between the X-ray source and the detector. The acquisition trajectory specifies a source-to-object distance (SOD) between the X-ray source and the rotational axis of the specimen stage at each rotation angle of the specimen stage. A reconstruction computer reconstructs a three-dimensional volume of the specimen from the projections scanned by the detector.
