Abstract
This research study presents an efficient and comprehensive three-dimensional photothermal reconstruction scheme for non-uniform pulsed thermography data utilizing the virtual wave concept. For the transformation of temperature signals into virtual wave signals, different physical-based temporally non-uniform sampling techniques for the temperature and the virtual wave signal are used. Furthermore, time reversal is implemented for three-dimensional defect reconstruction in the context of temporally non-uniform sampling. The proposed reconstruction scheme is experimentally demonstrated using carbon fiber-reinforced composite samples with foreign object defects as well as flat bottom holes. To sum up, a reconstruction technique is demonstrated that allows increasing the computational efficiency, while retaining the quality of the reconstruction results and simultaneously reducing data storage requirements compared to conventional temporally uniform sampling.
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.
