Nuclear Graphite Block Scan
Scan of a nuclear graphite block experiencing bulk and surface wave propagation. The wavefield captured form the block surface is subsequently fed to an inverse-elasticity algorithm to reconstruct the position, size and shape of defects (e.g. internal damage due to thermal gradients) that may have developed in the interior of the block. PI: Bojan B. Guzina – Student: Roman Tokmashev.
