DIAGNOSTICS OF THE STATE OF AIRCRAFT PARTS AND ASSEMBLIES WITH RADIONUCLIDE COMPUTER-TOMOGRAPHY

The article analyzes the possibilities and demonstrates the expediency of using radionuclide computer tomography for the diagnostics of the state of aircraft parts and assemblies. On the basis of model and expe rimental investigations the authors chose the conditions and optimal r egimes of measurement detecting typical defects and checking structura l elements in aircraft assemblies such as connectors, valves, elements of electrical devices and of load-bearing structures. The obtained re sults can be used for devising methods and means of nondestructive tes ting of industrial products.
