Abstract

This thermal wave conference dates back to 1979 when it was held for the first time in Ames/Iowa. All participants have this area still in mind, maybe not only due to the landscape but also to the cheerleader courses held parallel to our sessions on the same campus. So after 30 years time has come to review some thermal wave developments that started back in 1979 and to see how they affected other fields, e.g. NDE. This paper traces the origin of lock-in thermography back to the roots which is essentially to show how initially two different areas (thermal waves and thermography) merged partially together to become a powerful tool for modern NDE.
