Tom,
Attached please
find several pictures of the test coupon that we examined using 3-D computed
tomograph (A.K.A. Flash CT). The renderings show 3-D images of the part
with insert. The crack is clearly shown. The slice images are
pictures of planes passing through the part at different locations and show the
crack, insert and various features of the failure. You can see the
separation of the material from the insert in several slice images.
Anyway, this is what can be done using our system. Also, you can see the
pourosity of the material and the fiberous layers, although we don't know if
there is adhesive in these areas or not. I thought this might be
interesting to Ben Rodini.
