Abstract

AbstractActive thermography with lock-in excitation is a nondestructive testing method that is also feasible for testing of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). For validating the method extensive investigations were done during a research project in order to advance a standardization process. The most important parameters of optical and ultrasonic excitation thermography were investigated. For example, the appropriate selection of spectral sensitivity of the used infrared camera systems is important for recording undisturbed thermal signals. Regarding excitation, influences of excitation power and ultrasonic frequency were studied. Furthermore, material parameters such as CFRP layup are known for strongly affecting the results of measurement.
