| X-ray gives access non-destructively to the internal structures of a material (composition, presence of defects…). Our research activities are concerned with non-destructive characterisation by x-ray imaging: prototype characterisation, defect detection, damage characterisation, and material characterisation in relation with the mechanical properties. The techniques commonly used are radiography, radioscopy and spectrometry.
General applications:
Evaluation of structure and population of defects in plant- and glass-fibre composites, in relation with the mechanical properties.
Online process control and detection of defects, i.e. in metallic materials.
Real-time process monitoring: development of techniques for intelligent manufacturing processes.
Characterisation of advanced ceramics
Radioscopic image of an electronic chip
