The method comprises: emitting an electromagnetic signal onto the sample, the electromagnetic signal having a range of frequencies; detecting a response signal transmitted and/or reflected by the sample in response to the electromagnetic signal; processing the response signal to determine variation with frequency of a dielectric permittivity of the sample over the range of frequencies; and determining an indication of a structural characteristic of the sample from a measure of the variation with frequency of the dielectric permittivity of the sample.

An X-ray imaging system includes the following. An X-ray Talbot imaging apparatus includes an X-ray source, a plurality of gratings, and an X-ray detector. An X-ray is irradiated from the X-ray source through the examined target which is an object and the plurality of gratings and to the X-ray detector to obtain a moire image necessary to generate the reconstructed image of the examined target. A first database shows, for each name or type of material, a correlation between information regarding a signal strength in the reconstructed image generated based on the moire image and quality information of the material included in the examined target. A controller estimates as the evaluation index the quality information in the examined target from the reconstructed image based on information regarding the input name or the type of material and input shape information and the first database.

The radio-opaque filler is preferably a compound based on barium, bismuth, tungsten, iodine, or reduced iron.

[Problem] To make it possible to perform quantitative examination of slight weight unevenness of a material, and to provide a method for manufacturing a carbon fiber composite material in which weight unevenness is suppressed through the examination step. [Solution] The above problem can be solved by a method for manufacturing a deposit containing a thermoplastic resin and carbon fibers and having a side of 300 mm or more, wherein the composite is manufactured through the following steps. Step 101: an examination step of examining the weight of an aggregate of carbon fibers or the deposit non-destructively. Step 201: a step of ascertaining weight unevenness on the basis of the result of examination in step S101. Step 301: a step of adding an aggregate of discontinuous carbon fibers and/or a thermoplastic resin to a weight-lacking area on the basis of the weight unevenness of step 201 so as to reduce the weight unevenness.

A system and method for determining the strength of a bond joining a composite structure is provided. The system includes a gas gun produces a short gas pulse directed normal to a surface of the composite structure and that creates a compression wave through the composite structure; a monochromatic x-ray system produces a monochromatic x-ray that is incident at an angle to the surface and that passes through the composite structure; a scintillator screen receives transmitted x-rays that pass through the composite structure; a mirror receives and magnifies radiation emitted from the scintillator screen; a detector receives the radiation from the scintillator screen; an electronic processor configured to process the radiation detected by the detector; and a synchronization controller configured to synchronize operation of the gas gun, the monochromatic x-ray system, and the detector.

A method and system for inspection of an item, and a use thereof, are presented. The method comprises acquiring a plurality of projection images of an item at a plurality of projection angles for performing a tomographic reconstruction of the item. A plurality of objects are detected in the tomographic reconstruction and each object has a generic shape described by a parametric three-dimensional numerical model. Said detection comprises determining initial estimates of position and/or orientation of each object and at least one geometrical parameter of the three-dimensional model for each object. The initial estimates are iteratively refining by using a projection-matching approach, in which forward projection images are simulated for the objects according to operating parameters of the radiation imaging device and a difference metric between acquired projection images and simulated forward projection images is reduced at each iteration step.

Provided is a quality inspection method in which an inner state of a three-dimensional laminated molding can be quickly and easily inspected without destroying the three-dimensional laminated molding. To this end, the quality inspection method uses an X-ray Talbot imaging system 1 which creates a reconstructed image of an inspection object on the basis of a moire image obtained by using an X-ray detector to read X-rays which, after being radiated from an X-ray source 11a, have passed through: a plurality of grids in which a plurality of slits S are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the radiation axis direction of the X-ray; and an inspection object H placed on a subject table 13. The inspection object H is a three-dimensional laminated molding formed into a three-dimensional shape by laminating multiple layers of constituent materials. The reconstructed image is created while the inspection object H is placed on the subject table 13 in such a way that at least the lamination direction of layers constituting the inspection object H and the arrangement direction of the plurality of slits S in the plurality of grids are parallel. The inner state of the inspection object H is inspected on the basis of the reconstructed image.
