Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for detecting one or more thermal and/or mechanical properties of a structure. The method may include forming one or more test structures from a material that forms the structure, generating and storing calibration data determined from the one or more test structures, emitting X-ray radiation into the structure, detecting X-ray scatter from the structure, and determining the one or more properties of the structure based on the detected X-ray scatter and the calibration data.
