Multilayer composites reinforced fibres are often used in military applications as construction materials for lightweight ballistic covers that protect against fragments and projectiles. The basic fibre used in these applications is aramid fibre, but research is also conducted using carbon fibres. One of the many methods used in non-destructive testing of composites is active infrared thermography, in which different types of sources can be used to thermally stimulate the material being tested. This paper compares the results obtained with various methods of thermal stimulation in the study of samples made with CFRP with deliberately introduced defects and destructive tests.

This study is aimed to analyze the thermal imaging patterns presented by infrared(IR) thermography at which the metal with internal defects are thermally heated. Through the knowledge of non-destructive testing which infrared thermography can be applied to detect the defects inside the materials, there are two materials experimented; one is stainless steel and the other is cast-iron. Thermally, each material of specimens is heated at the base of the material and kept with constant temperature, The artificial defects in the specimen are formulated. Under the shape and location of the defects, temperature profiles are also measured and validated using the computer simulation. It is concluded that the characteristics of thermal patterns obtained from IR thermography are consistent with those of measurement and computations.

A review of available results on non-destructive testing of physical systems, using the concept of topological sensitivity, is presented. This mathematical tool estimates the sensitivity of a set of measurements in some given sensors, distributed along the system, to defects/flaws that produce a degradation of the system. Such degradation manifests itself on the properties of the system. The good performance of this general purpose post-processing method is reviewed and illustrated in some applications involving non-destructive testing. These applications include structural health monitoring, considering both elastodynamic ultrasonic guided Lamb waves and active infrared thermography. Related methods can also be used in other fields, such as diagnosis/prognosis of engineering devices, which is also considered.

Gradient Approach

The article presents application of non destructive testing method based on the pulse heating infrared thermography used to detect material anomalies for the case of glass reinforced polymer structures. The goal of presented research, based on the thermal gradient approach, is to establish the procedure capable of filtering out anomalies from other thermal influences caused by thermal reflections of surrounding objects, geometry influences and heat flows for observed object.

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging and infrared (IR) thermography are powerful tools in many areas in engineering and sciences. Their joint use is of great interest in the buildings sector, allowing inspection and non-destructive testing of elements as well as an evaluation of the energy efficiency. When dealing with large and complex structures, as buildings (particularly historical) generally are, 3D thermography inspection is enhanced by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV—also known as drones). The aim of this paper is to propose a simple and cost-effective system for aerial 3D thermography of buildings. Special attention is thus payed to instrument and reconstruction software choice. After a very brief introduction to IR thermography for buildings and 3D thermography, the system is described. Some experimental results are given to validate the proposal.
