Speaker: Dr. Amy Richards
Title: Capabilities of Computed Tomography (CT) in Failure Analysis and
Nondestructive Evaluation
Computed Tomography (CT) is the process of imaging an object in all
directions using X-rays and reconstructing image data to produce a
duplicate, three-dimensional digital model of the scanned object. The
internal and external structure of the object can then be viewed at any
cross-section, point, or angle. CT allows the documentation and
memorialization of an object, in its entirety, without destructive analysis
and allows movement through the object to view any area of interest. This
technology is ideal for failure analysis, nondestructive evaluation or
metrology, and forensic artifact investigation. The purpose of this
presentation is to further define CT and demonstrate its capabilities. We
also make recommendations as to when CT should be used and touch on more
advanced post-processing capabilities.
Speaker Bio:
Dr. Richards is a Staff Consultant with ESI (Engineering Systems Inc.) in
Dallas, Texas. She obtained a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering with a minor
in Chemical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines. Prior to joining
ESI, she gained experience in the design and implementation of aircraft
cooling systems. Additionally, she has conducted research relating to the
gas transport and internal-reforming chemistry of alternative fuels within
various solid oxide fuel cell anode support materials. She has designed,
built, and optimized a unique experimental reactor, a protocol utilizing
both mass spectrometry (MS) and gas chromatography (GC), and a computational
model for the analysis of fuel cell anodes. Dr. Richards also has experience
with ceramics processing and material microstructure characterization via
scanning electron microscopy (SEM), porosimetry, and gas-transport analysis.
She has additional experience in the dispersion and measurement of aerosols.
Dr. Richards has been involved in fire, explosion, and aircraft
investigations, including a large-scale industrial plant explosion. In
addition to participating in on-site investigations, she also specializes in
computer modeling of fluid, combustion, and chemical processes. She performs
tasks for laboratory-based investigations, including stereomicroscopy, SEM,
and CT Scanning. Dr. Richards is experienced in CT data analysis and
post-processing.
