T1 - Evaluation of different techniques of active thermography for quantification of artificial and natural defects in fiber reinforced composites N2 - For assuring the safety and reliability of components and constructions in energy applications made of fiber reinforced polymers (e. g. blades of wind turbines and tidal power plants, engine chassis, flexible oil and gas pipelines) innovative non-destructive testing methods are required. Within the EMRP project VITCEA complementary methods (shearography, microwave, ultrasonics and thermography) are further developed and validated. Together with partners from the industry, test specimens were constructed and selected on-site containing different artificial and natural defect artefacts. As base materials, carbon and glass fibers in different orientations and layering embedded in different matrix materials (epoxy, polyamide) were considered. In this contribution, the validation of different techniques of active thermography like flash, step heating and lock-in thermography to these testing problems is presented. Experimental data are compared to analytical and numerical models. Among others shows that although flash and lock-in thermography have the same detectability of flat bottom holes in the phase images, the detectability of delaminations is different. In another example, it is demonstrated that for GFRP, the transmissivity of the material has to be considered for the quantitative data analysis.
