Microfocus X-ray CT system combined with universal testing machine

摘要

This report presents an outline of our newly developed Force-X System, which is a combination of an industrial microfocus X-ray CT system and a universal testing machine. This new system provides positive information on the behaviors of internal structures of specimens under tensile or compression loads, utilizing the latest technology of X-ray computed tomography (CT) in non-destructive testing. This paper also presents some typical data obtained by means of this new system.
