[Study on Non-Destructive Testing of Guqin Interior Structure Based on Computed Tomography].

The wood property and production process affect quality of Guqin. At the same time, Guqin shape with cavity layout relations to the improvement of Guqin technology and inheritance, so it's very important to get the internal cavity characteristics and parameters on the condition of non-destructive the structure of Guqin. The image of interior structure in Guqin was investigated by overall scanning based on non-destructive testing technology of computed tomography, which texture of faceplate, connection method between faceplate and soleplate and interior defects were studied. The three-dimensional reconstruction of Guqin cavity was achieved through Mimics software of surface rendering method and put the two-dimensional CT tomography images convert into three-dimensional, which more complete show interior structural form in Guqin, and finally the parameter of cavity dimensions was obtained. Experimental research shows that there is significant difference in Guqin interior structure between Zhong-ni and Luo-xia type, in which the fluctuation of the interior surfacein Zhong-ni type's is larger than that in Luo-xia type; the interior volume of Zhong-ni typeis less than that of Luo-xia type, especially in Guqin neck. The accurate internal information of Guqin obtained through the computed tomography (CT) technology will provide technical support for the Guqin manufacture craft and the quality examination, as well as provide the reference in the aspect of non-destructive testing for other traditional precious internal structure research.

[Research on density detection in Dendrocalamus farinosus based on computer tomography].

Density is one of the important physical indicators of bamboo, associated with its many physical and mechanical properties. The temporal and spatial variation of density in 2-5-year-old Dendrocalamus farinosus were measured using computed tomography (CT) technology. Scanning parameters were obtained through orthogonal design. The relationship of air-dry density (Y) and the corresponding CT values (X) was established and verified through regression analysis, which presents an approximate linear relationship between them. The linear equation is Y=0.001X+1.148. The radial and longitudinal variation of density was determined by the regression model. This study provides a new method to measure bamboo density efficiently and accurately, and also put forward a new thought to further study structure and characteristics of bamboo.
