초록

항공기용 복합재료 내부 여러 층에서 발생하는 박리를 정량적으로 평가하기 위한 X-ray 후방산란 검사장치를 개발하였다. 복합재료 두께방향으로의 역산란 밀도변화로부터 층간 박리를 검사하는 슬릿 방식의 카메라와 컴퓨터로 제어되는 X-ray 선원, 그리고 센서로 구성되는 X-ray 후방산란장치를 제작하여 그 성능을 충격하중에 의해 만들어진 인공결함시편을 이용해 검증하였다. 결함평가를 위해 복합재료내 산란장의 크기를 이론적으로 계산하는 수학적 해석 모델을 볼츠만 방정식을 이용하여 제안하였으며 적응필터 알고리즘을 사용하여 산란 노이즈를 최소화 하였다. 다중 박리 결함을 X-ray 후방산란장치를 통해 효과적으로 검출하였으며, 박리 위치와 박리 상태를 모두 정확하게 검사할 수 있음을 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

A Compton X-ray backscatter technique has been developed to quantitatively assess impact damage in quasi-isotropic laminated composites made by a drop-weight tester. X-ray backscatter imaging system with a slit-type camera is constructed to obtain a cross-sectional profile of impact-damaged laminated composites from the electron-density variation of the cross section. A nonlinear scattering model based on Boltsman equation is introduced to compute Compton X-ray backscattering field for the defect assessment. An adaptive filter is also used to reduce noises from many sources including quantum noise and irregular distributions of fibers and matrix in composites. Delaminations masked or distorted by the first delamination are detected and characterized effectively by the Compton X-ray backscatter technique, both in width and location, by application of error minimization algorithm.
