Digital imaging system for linac X-rays for NDE of case bonded solid rocket motors
نویسنده
چکیده
Digital X-ray radiography has been found to be an appropriate NDT tool for Quality Assurance of large size solid rocket motors, high explosive charges, etc. This technique provides quick and comparable image quality as compared to conventional film radiography. A CCD-based Digital Imaging System (DIS) integrated with a 4 MeV linac X-ray source, installed for the first time in India at HEMRL, Pune, has produced promising image quality of the large size objects, which helps in detailed data analysis using dedicated image processing software. Furthermore, digital data can be obtained in a very short time and stored conveniently.

Digital technology has been introduced into radiography very recently but the conventional film based technique will be totally out of the arena in no time as what has happened in the photography field. The state-of-art technology is direct digital Xray imaging based on Flat Panel Detector technology in which the X-ray image is displayed on the computer without the intermediate optics or mechan...
متن کاملAcoustic-Mean Flow Interaction in Solid Propellant Rocket Motors
There are several sources for pressure oscillations in solid propellant rocket motors. Oscillatory flow field is one of them. Free shear layers in motor flow field cause vortex shedding. End edges of propellant grains and baffle edge in two-segmented motors are samples of such zones. These vortices move from their forming points and strike the field walls. The kinetic energy of vortices change ...

One of the most common positioning errors in panoramic radiography is palatoglossal air space above the apices of the root of maxillary teeth. It causes a radiolucency obscuring the apices of maxillary teeth. In the case of this positioning error, the imaging should be repeated. This causes the patient be exposed to radiation again. To avoid the repetition of exposing harmful X-rays to the pati...

An experimental program is described in which the bending and longitudinal dynamics of structures simulating solid-propellant rocket motors are being studied. The structure is considered to be a cylindrical grain of solid propellant to which is bonded a thin steel case. Vibrations of the empty steel cylinder suspended in a free-free condition are studied first. Secondly, a similar steel cylinde...
