T1 - Characterisation of historic façades using active thermography with solar heating and optical methods T2 - DGZfP Proceedings of the 19th World Conference on Non-destructive Testing N2 - Active thermography is well suited for the detection of delaminations and cracks in façade elements like plaster and tiles. Not only artificial heating but also solar heating can be used if the adjustment of the façade and the weather conditions are suitable. Optical methods like laser scanners, photogrammetric methods and crack tracking sensors are providing geometrical 3D data which can be used for a 3D mapping of thermograms and for providing data with higher geometrical resolution. Thus, by the combination and fusion of these data, a comprehensive mapping and monitoring of damages of façade systems is possible.

T1 - Detection and characterisation of safety relevant detachments of facade elements using a combination of active thermography and optical scanning methods T2 - NDT-CE 2015 - International symposium non-destructive testing in civil engineering (Proceedings) N2 - In this contribution, the development and application of optical and thermographic methods for the nondestructive evaluation of delaminations, cracks and further substructures in Connection with bulging is presented. Since delaminated fagade elements show geometric as well as thermal anomalies, surface geometry and defects beneath the surface were investigated. As methods, Stereo photogrammetry, a tracking based method for tactile recording of geometric 3D data and active thermography were used. Two case studies were assessed with a combination of these methods: the plaster scratches at the Magdeburg Cathedral and a mural painting in Cobbelsdorf, both located in Germany. While the plaster scratches have been investigated by artificial heating with an infrared radiator, the rural painting was tested by analysing the temperature increase due to solar heating.

Both methods are applied more and more often in research and industry, but still extensive validation procedures are required for each individual application. In this paper, the results of two research projects concerning the validation and standardisation of both methods are presented. This includes results of a detailed study of the influence of measurements parameters on flash thermography, of the comparison of the lateral resolution obtained with flash and lock-in thermography and the description of a draft standard for flash thermography.

T1 - Non-destructive testing of Cu solder connections using active thermography JF - NDT & E international N2 - Impulse and lock-in thermography have been applied to detect delaminations of prototype solder joints, similar to those to be produced between Cu shunts and Cu busbar stabilisers at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Two infrared cameras with different detector materials and with different spectral ranges and two excitation techniques have been tested and compared for their ability to detect delaminations behind 2 and 3 mm thick Cu shunts. We have analyzed the signal to noise ratio (SNR) for each detected defect and are able to detect defects down to a nominal edge length of 4 mm behind 2 mm thick Cu shunts by using fast impulse thermography and a camera with a microbolometer array. For the 3 mm thick Cu shunt, on the other hand, the nominal 4 mm defect is only visible in the lock-in thermography phase images and the highest SNR has been achieved with a cooled InSb-based camera. In addition, numerical simulations show the influence of the minimum detectable defect size on the shunt thickness and that the developed on-site testing technique is sufficient to find all defects that are detectable theoretically.

T1 - Untersuchung sicherheitsrelevanter Ablösungen von Fassadenelementen mit aktiver Thermografie JF - Bautechnik N2 - Die Bewertung des Zustandes und der Haftung von Putz und Fassadenelementen auf den darunterliegenden Bauwerksstrukturen ist eine häufig auftretende Fragestellung bei der Erhaltung und Instandsetzung von Bauwerken und Baudenkmälern. Hier müssen nicht nur wirtschaftliche und denkmalpflegerische, sondern auch sicherheitsrelevante Aspekte berücksichtigt werden. Fehlstellen und Ablösungen können, auch wiederholend, mit hoher Nachweisempfindlichkeit mit aktiven Thermografieverfahren geortet und unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen quantitativ bewertet werden. Dazu wird der zu untersuchende Bereich zunächst kurzzeitig (mehrere Minuten lang) erwärmt und anschließend die Abkühlung mit einer Infrarotkamera aufgezeichnet. Systematische Untersuchungen an Probekörpern mit einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Fehlstellen unterhalb von Kalkputz, Fliesen und Klinkerriemchen zeigen, dass die Fehlstellen sowohl mittels künstlicher Erwärmung durch einen Infrarotstrahler als auch mittels natürlicher Erwärmung durch die Sonne detektiert und charakterisiert werden können. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The evaluation of condition and adhesion of plaster and façade elements to the underlying building structure is a common issue in the maintenance and repair of buildings and monuments. Here not only economic and preservation, but also safety relevant aspects have to be considered. Voids and delaminations can be detected repeatedly with high sensitivity using active thermography methods. Under certain conditions, also a quantitative evaluation is possible. The area under investigation has to be heated up for a short time (up to several minutes). Subsequently, the cooling down is recorded using an infrared camera. Systematic studies on test specimens with a variety of defects below lime plaster, tiles and brick tiles show that the defects can be detected and even characterized both by means of artificial heating using an infrared heater, as well as by natural solar heating.

Both methods are applied more and more in research and industry, but until know it is not clear which are the advantages of one method against the other. In this paper, results of two research projects concerning the validation and standardisation of both methods are presented. Three different types of CFRP test specimens consisting of well-defined flat bottom holes, of artificial delaminations made of PTFE plates embedded in CFRP and of real impact damage have been investigated systematically with flash and lockin excitation. Here, the phase images of both methods are compared qualitatively as well as quantitatively.
