Due to their high irradiance and wide modulation bandwidth, high-power lasers open up a wide field of application. For example, the classical methods of pulse and lock-in thermography can be realized in high quality. In addition, structured heating is also possible by using arrays of such lasers. This makes it possible to implement new thermographic methods, such as interference-based detection of cracks or super resolution.
Among the photothermal methods, full-field thermal imaging is used to characterize materials, to determine thicknesses of layers, or to find inhomogeneities such as voids or cracks. The use of classical light sources such as flash lamps (impulse heating) or halogen lamps (modulated heating) led to a variety of nondestructive testing methods, in particular lock-in and flash-thermography.
In vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs), laser light is emitted perpendicular to the surface with a symmetrical beam profile. Due to the vertical structure, they can be arranged in large arrays of many thousands of individual lasers, which allows power scaling into the kilowatt range. Recently, a high-power yet very compact version of such a VCSEL-array became available that offers both the fast timing behavior of a laser as well as the large illumination area of a lamp.
Moreover, it allows a spatial and temporal control of the heating because individual parts of the array can be controlled arbitrarily in frequency, amplitude, and phase. In conjunction with a fast infrared camera, such structured heating opens up a field of novel thermal imaging and testing methods. As a first demonstration of this ansatz, we chose a testing problem very challenging to conventional thermal infrared testing: The detection of very thin subsurface defects perpendicularly oriented to the surface of metallic samples. First, we generate destructively interfering thermal wave fields which are then affected by the presence of defects within their reach. It turned out that this technique allows highly sensitive detection of subsurface defects down to depths in excess of the usual thermographic rule of thumb, with no need for a reference or surface preparation.
Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) sind Diodenlaser, welche Laserstrahlung mit gutem Strahlprofil senkrecht zur Chipoberfläche emittieren. Aufgrund dieser vertikalen Bauweise können sie in großen Arrays zu vielen tausenden einzelnen Lasern zusammengefasst werden. Solch ein VCSEL-Array vereint das schnelle zeitliche Verhalten eines Diodenlasers mit der hohen optischen Bestrahlungsstärke und dem großen Beleuchtungsbereich von Blitzlampen oder LEDs und kann damit potentiell alle herkömmlichen Lichtquellen der Thermografie ersetzen.
Darüber hinaus kann der Prüfkörper mithilfe dieser Lichtquelle strukturiert erwärmt werden, da einzelne Bereiche des VCSEL-Arrays unabhängig voneinander angesteuert werden können. Dieser neue Freiheitsgrad ermöglicht die Entwicklung neuer thermografischer ZfP-Verfahren. Wir demonstrieren diesen Ansatz anhand eines für die konventionelle Thermografie nur sehr bedingt lösbaren Prüfproblems, der Detektion vertikal zur Oberfläche ausgerichteter, sehr dünner, verdeckter Defekte in metallischen Werkstoffen. Wir erzeugen hierzu destruktiv interferierende thermische Wellenfelder. Defekte im Einflußbereich dieser thermischen Wellenfelder stören die destruktive Interferenz und erlauben eine hochsensible Detektion bis in Tiefen jenseits der üblichen thermografischen Faustformel, ohne Referenz und ohne Oberflächenbehandlung.
Impact damages and delaminations in fibre-reinforced composites (FRC) might not be visible at the surface, but could have an influence on the resistance and on the long-term behaviour of the component. Therefore, and especially for safety relevant structures, non-destructive methods are required for the assessment of such damages.
Active thermography methods are suitable to characterize damages after loading using different kind of excitation techniques and various configurations of infrared (IR) camera and heating sources. Here, flash lamps, impulse excitation with infrared radiator and lock-in technique with halogen lamps or widened laser beams are suited. In addition, non-optical sources like sonotrodes (requiring direct contact to the structure) or induction generators (only suited for carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) structures) could be applied as well. For the investigation of the evolution of the damage during the impact, passive thermography can be applied in-situ. Elastic and plastic deformations alter the temperature of the structure and thus the temperature on the surface.
In this contribution, at first the general principles of quantitative defect characterisation in FRC using active thermography with flash, impulse and lock-in excitation are described. Optical and thermal properties of the FRC material and its anisotropy are considered. Results of phase differences obtained at flat bottom holes with flash and lock-in thermography are compared for qualifying both methods for quantitative defect characterization. Secondly, the damage evolution of CFRP and GFRP structures under impact load and static tensile loading is described. The spatial and temporal evolution of the surface temperature enables us to distinguish matrix cracks or fibre-matrix separation from delaminations between the layers. Afterwards, all results for loading defects, obtained by passive and active thermography, are compared with each other. Fig. 1 and 2 show the difference of passive and flash thermography obtained at impact and tensile loaded CFRP plates, respectively. As one purpose of these investigations is the development of standards within national (DIN) and European (CEN) standardisation bodies, new draft and final standards are presented and further needs are discussed at the end of the presentation.
