TY - JOUR A1 - Maierhofer, Christiane A1 - Krankenhagen, Rainer A1 - Röllig, Mathias T1 - Application of thermographic testing for the characterization of impact damage during and after impact load JF - Composites Part B N2 - Low-velocity impact damages were monitored in-situ using an infrared camera before, during and after Impact load. Thermal images were recorded as a function of time at the front side (impact) as well as at the rear side of the plates using a high frame rate. In CFRP and GFRP specimens with different thicknesses and made of various types of fibers and matrix materials, different kind of damages were observed. The sizes of the heated areas being related to the damages and the amount of energy dissipated into heat was determined quantitatively as a function of impact energy and are a measure of the resistance of the different materials against impact load.
