Abstract
We present a methodology to size the area and depth of horizontal metallic inclusions of unknown geometry, embedded in insulators, using lock-in inductive thermography. The method is based on averaging the amplitude and phase thermograms along circles concentric with the center of the heated region. We present an analytical calculation of the surface temperature distribution produced by a horizontal circular heat source, taking into account conductive coupling with the air, and we propose to fit the averaged data to this model. We present lock-in thermography data on resin samples containing embedded calibrated circular and rectangular Cu slabs that we excite inductively. The results indicate that it is possible to determine the area and depth of rectangular heat sources with aspect ratio below 1.5 with accuracy better than 10 %.
期刊介绍:
NDT&E international publishes peer-reviewed results of original research and development in all categories of the fields of nondestructive testing and evaluation including ultrasonics, electromagnetics, radiography, optical and thermal methods. In addition to traditional NDE topics, the emerging technology area of inspection of civil structures and materials is also emphasized. The journal publishes original papers on research and development of new inspection techniques and methods, as well as on novel and innovative applications of established methods. Papers on NDE sensors and their applications both for inspection and process control, as well as papers describing novel NDE systems for structural health monitoring and their performance in industrial settings are also considered. Other regular features include international news, new equipment and a calendar of forthcoming worldwide meetings. This journal is listed in Current Contents.
