Here, mainly the thickness of the component is essential. The non-destructive evaluation of these damages can be carried out using both ultrasound and active thermography methods. A comparison of the detection sensitivity of these methods for the different damages is carried out in this paper depending on the fibre composite material used (CFRP and GFRP), the thickness of the material and the impact energy. The NDT methods used after the damage are supplemented by thermographic measurements with high temporal resolution, which were already recorded during the impact.

Opt. 55, D76 (2016)] were reconsidered. It turned out that the reported uncertainties for phase values from lock-in measurements were set too low according to the current state of knowledge. One of the conclusions drawn at the time can no longer be upheld, as the experimental values are too imprecise.

T1 - Porosity detection in high pressure die castings - Part 1 - Microscopic investigations of pores in HPD castings N2 - Ever larger high pressure die castings (HPDC) with ever thinner walls raise the issue of castings defects. Properties of components are often strongly influenced by inner porosity. In the case of high pressure die castings, shrinkage and gas porosity occur. Two possibilities of characterizing porosity – by microscopy and active thermography – are dealt with in two articles. In this article, the microscopic investigations are presented. In a second article, first the feasibility of thermographic detection will be discussed based on simulations and, thereafter, the experimental determination of porosity with active thermography will be described.

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.

Thermographic testing (TT) is a well established nondestructive testing method under laboratory conditions. It is suited to detect typical structural features and also faults and damages within the blade structure. However, the onsite application for wind turbines during Operation is not straightforward. Some resuits of non-rotating blades as well as of rotating blades are presented. The simultaneous recording of all blades in the rotating state allows the application of a reference method suppressing disturbing influences and leading to enhanced thermal contrasts.

T1 - Validation of flash thermography using computed tomography for characterizing inhomogeneities and defects in CFRP structures N2 - Active thermography is an efficient non-destructive testing method for investigating the internal structure of larger carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) components as well as smaller CFRP components in mass customization. The method can be applied contactless and automated. This study contains systematic investigations of CFRP structures with typical defects and inhomogeneities occurring during production by means of flash thermography in reflection and transmission configuration and by computed tomography (CT). The latter one was used as a reference method, since also very small defects at larger depth can be visualized with high spatial resolution. The CFRP structures consist of plates which contain metallic and non-metallic inclusions, contaminations with glue or wax rests, areas with inhomogeneous re-injection of dry parts, fiber misalignments, and fiber damages. Further on, two specimens have been glued together with different artificial inhomogeneities of the four glue beads. The results of the applied methods are compared and the advantages and disadvantages of each configuration are discussed based on the detectability of the inhomogeneities. It is shown that although CT has led to best contrasts and spatial resolutions in displaying the inhomogeneities and inclusions, flash thermography is very well suited to detect most of these structures. Considering that flash thermography can be applied on-site and has a high potential for automation and for a fast and efficient testing, it can be highly recommended for quality assurance during and after production of CFRP structures.

Abgelöste Fassadenbereiche und Risse zeigen dabei sowohl geometrische als auch thermische Auffälligkeiten, die im Rahmen eines Monitoring auch über größere Zeiträume verfolgt werden können. Als optische Verfahren werden die trackingbasierte taktile 3D‐Erfassung von Oberflächenmerkmalen und die Stereophotogrammetrie eingesetzt. Zur Charakterisierung verdeckter Ablösungen und Bauteile wird die aktive Thermografie mit natürlicher und künstlicher Erwärmung der Bauteiloberfläche verwendet. Systematische Untersuchungen an Probekörpern und Fallstudien (Magdeburger Dom, Wandbild in Cobbelsdorf, Giebichensteinbrücke) zeigen, wie u. a. mit der Verfahrenskombination die Schäden charakterisiert werden können.

Thermography is a promising method for detecting subsurface defects, but various challenges arise when this method is applied on-site to turbine blades in operation. Disturbing influences from the environment easily lead to a misinterpretation of thermograms (i.e. thermographic images), such as thermal signatures caused by reflections, dirt and other superficial inhomogeneities. This study explores several problems and effects that arise, when (rotating) blades are monitored with thermography. It will then be demonstrated that a meaningful defect inspection in this scenario is essentially restricted to a procedure following three steps: Firstly, calculating the so-called difference thermograms of all blade pairs for eliminating disturbing reflections. Secondly, identifying potentially relevant signals, which are associated neither with structural features nor with dynamical effects, and the identification of these signals’ allocations (through comparison of all difference thermograms with each other). And thirdly, comparing these signals with (processed) photos for excluding incorrect indications by surface effects. Unlike common thermographic analysis methods, which typically only include an aspect of this procedure, the composition presented in this contribution constitutes an advanced technique for minimizing disturbing influences in thermograms. The proposed thermographic technique enables the detection of potential subsurface defects within rotating rotor blades from greater distances – such as from the ground, air crafts or vessels.
