COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course will give physical basics of different non-destructing testing and imaging techniques with a focus on ultrasound, electron– and X-ray-techniques.

1. Physical Basics

1.1 Relation between physical and structural properties
• Types of ultrasound waves: longitudinal compressional, transversal shear, longitudinal shear, surface waves
• Coupling between different types of waves
• Interaction of ultrasound with acoustic properties: reflection/transmission, refraction, diffraction, random scattering, absorption
• Interaction of electromagnetic waves (e-beam, X-rays) with the electron density of materials: reflection/transmission, diffraction, refraction, diffuse scattering, absorption

1.2 Measurement techniques
• Introduction into different X-ray techniques
• Echo ultrasound
• Through-transmission ultrasound
• Monochromatization of the X-ray beam
• Filters and absorbers
• Beam shaping modalities

1.3 Ultrasound transducer types
• Piezoelectric transducers
• Air-coupled transducers
• Electromagnetic transducers
• Laser ultrasound

1.4 Diffractometer design
• Requirements and resolution

1.5 Signal Analysis/ Data Handling
• Fourier transform
• Monostatic and multistatic imaging, physical and synthetic focusing
• The reciprocal space

2. Application Examples and Fields

2.1 Ultrasound
• Testing of welds, thickness, material properties
• Medical ultrasound imaging
• Seismic imaging

2.2 Electron emission
• SEM
• TEM

2.3 X-Ray
• Scattering theory (coherent and non-coherent scattering)
• SAXS
• CT Imaging
• Reflectometry
• Diffraction theory
