Industry Partners: Boeing, Pratt & Whitney, Allison/Rolls Royce, General Electric, Honeywell, United Airlines, Northwest Airlines
Objectives:
-
To apply the simulation code, XRSIM, to industrially related problems
-
To extend the models as necessary to support the analysis of real problems
-
To develop a PC version
of the code for transfer to commercial use
Approach:
- Develop simulation
code that allows range of material properties, setup parameters (source,
detector), and realistic flaw types for use with standard CAD files
- Incorporate various
physical aspects of radiography
- Perform necessary
validation, with industrial partners
- Apply model to
real inspection problems with industrial partners through betasite test
and problem solving at ISU
- Further improvements based on feedback from users
XRSIM has been
used to solve many real problems in cooperation with industry partners.
Future applications will include detection limits of inclusions, evaluation
of weld repair, training, and development of procedure for casting inspections.
Products:
- GPC-based program
in use by industry
- Applications to inspection questions from FAA
