Abstract:
An X-ray scanning method to nondestructively detect flaws that are hidden from direct observation is demonstrated. The method employs a rolling-window template-matching procedure that identifies statistically significant deviations between a response matrix characteristic of an unflawed sample and a response matrix obtained from a test sample. The methodology is illustrated with simulated data and implemented to measure the thickness of missing material hidden within engineered samples. The technology has application in detecting flaws in systems such as aircraft.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...
