Amongst various other NDT methods, within the EMRP-project ‘VITCEA’ active thermography is validated for testing of CFRP and GFRP structures constructed for energy application. In this contribution, the optical and thermal properties of CFRP and GFRP reference defect artefact (RDA) and natural defects artefact (NDA) test specimens are characterized. Different excitation techniques and techniques for data analysis are compared for optimizing the number of detected defects.
Starting with some examples from the VITCEA project, which gives the framework of the training course, the physical basis of active thermography is demonstrated. It consists of the physical phenomena heat conduction and thermal radiation. The contrast mechanism is explained by means of a simple 1-dimensional approach. This leads to the concept of thermal thickness which is essential for active thermography. Later, the influence of the surface properties reflectivity and emissivity is considered more in detail.
