Active thermography is well suited for the detection of delaminations and cracks in façade elements like plaster and tiles. Not only artificial heating but also solar heating can be used if the adjustment of the façade and the weather conditions are suitable. Optical methods like laser scanners, photogrammetric methods and crack tracking sensors are providing geometrical 3D data which can be used for a 3D mapping of thermograms and for providing data with higher geometrical resolution. Thus, by the combination and fusion of these data, a comprehensive mapping and monitoring of damages of façade systems is possible.
A round robin test on flash thermography was organized within the scope of a standardization research project. This test gives information on reliability, comparability and efficiency of different testing situations. Data recorded on metal and CFRP test specimens with flat bottom holes (FBH) were analysed by evaluating the detectability and by calculating the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the defect signatures as a function of defect parameters. For the investigation of the influence of material properties on the spatial resolution as well as on penetration depth, test specimens made of steel and copper with crossed notches and a notch ramp were constructed and investigated. Here, the minimum resolvable notch distance and the maximum detectable depth of the ramp were analysed.
Within the scope of a DIN INS project, a flash thermography round robin test that evaluates reliability, comparability, and efficiency of different testing situations was organized. The results give information about the detectability of defects, e.g. depending on their size and depth, the evaluation methods and the materials used. Besides, the influences of equipment and parameters used by the participants on the results were analysed. All of the quantitative results as well as the feedback given by the participants will be presented in a DIN committee in order to contribute to a flash thermography standard.
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.
The increased use of fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites for improved efficiency and reliability in energy related applications e.g. wind and marine turbine blades, nacelles, oil and gas flexible risers, also increases the demand for innovative non-destructive testing technologies. Thus, in order to achieve increased acceptance of suited and optimized non-destructive testing (NDT) methods in industry, the European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP) project ENG57 Validated Inspection Techniques for Composites in Energy Applications (VITCEA) deals with the development and validation of innovative NDT technologies. In this contribution, results concerning thermographic investigations at test specimens during tensile loading and active thermography testing after tensile loading are presented. Additionally, the determination of the optical properties (relative transmittance and directional spectral emissivity) of CFRP and GFRP test specimens is described.
Aktive Thermografie wird zunehmend für die zerstörungsfreie Prüfung insbesondere von dünnwandigen Bauteilen eingesetzt. Neben der Ortung und der Bestimmung der lateralen Ausdehnung von Fehlstellen und Inhomogenität in der Ebene parallel zur Oberfläche sind in den Messdaten auch Informationen über die Tiefe bzw. Überdeckung von Fehlstellen enthalten. In der Vergangenheit wurden verschiedene analytische Ansätze zur Rekonstruktion dieser Tiefeninformationen umgesetzt:
- Bestimmung der Blindfrequenz über die Phaseninformationen der Puls-Phasen-Thermografie
- Bestimmung des Phasenkontrastes bei der Lockin Thermografie
- Bestimmung der Fehlstellentiefe mittels Thermal Signal Reconstruction (TSR), d. h. aus dem
doppeltlogarithmisch dargestellten zeitlichen Verlauf der Abkühlung nach impulsartiger Erwärmung
Nachteil aller bisherigen analytischer Verfahren basierend auf eindimensionalen Modellen ist, dass der Einfluss lateraler Wärmeleitungseffekte nicht berücksichtigt wird. Dieser kann jedoch bei kleineren Fehlstellen nicht mehr vernachlässigt werden, wozu bisher jedoch nur teilempirische Ansätze realisiert wurden. Erst numerische Rekonstruktionsverfahren ermöglichen eine Rekonstruktion auch komplexerer Defektgeometrien unter Berücksichtigung lateraler Wärmeleitungsprozesse sowie anisotroper thermischer Materialeigenschaften. In diesem B
eitrag werden die verschiedenen Ansätze in der 3D-Datenanalyse der aktiven Thermografie miteinander verglichen und die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Verfahren vorgestellt.
Im EMRP-Projekt VITCEA werden komplementäre ZFP-Verfahren zur Prüfung von Faserverbundwerkstoffen weiterentwickelt und validiert. In diesem Beitrag werden Ergebnisse verschiedener Techniken der aktiven Thermografie und des Ultraschalls vorgestellt. Die Nachweisempfindlichkeiten bezüglich künstlicher und natürlicher Fehler mit unterschiedlichen lateralen Ausdehnungen und in verschiedenen Tiefen werden miteinander verglichen.
Defects in FRP structures may be introduced during the processing and fabrication of composite components and can initiate or grow in-service. In the context of this JRP, the term ‚defect‘ refers to imperfections introduced during manufacture/processing and/or secondary machining operations, as well as damage sustained during a component‘s service life. One of the challenges facing accurate and repeatable defect detection in FRP composites is the multitude of defect types that exist, each with characteristics that present different challenges to the NDE practitioner. In order for a particular NDE technique to achieve broad acceptance by industry, it is desirable for the technique to be able to detect a range of defect types with a high level of confidence. Project VITCEA (Validated Inspection Techniques for Composites in Energy Applications) is developing and validating traceable procedures for novel NDE techniques with contrasting detection capabilities, which will underpin the increased use of FRP composites for improved efficiency and reliability in energy related applications e.g. wind and marine turbine blades, nacelles, oil and gas flexible risers.
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.
In diesem Beitrag werden zerstörungsfreie Untersuchungen mittels aktiver Thermografie an Probekörpern aus CFK und GFK mit unterschiedlichen künstlichen Fehlstellen vorgestellt. Dabei wird die zeitliche und örtliche Temperaturverteilung nach Erwärmung mit Blitzlampen oder mit einem Infrarot-Strahler mit einer Infrarot-Kamera erfasst. Zur Rekonstruktion der Messdaten wurde ein numerisches Modell entwickelt. Dazu war die Bestimmung der thermischen und optischen Materialeigenschaften erforderlich.
In most cases where a POD is calculated based on continuous data obtained by active thermography, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the signal, the difference of the defect signal to the background or the absolute signal is analyzed as a function of the aspect ratio (ratio of the size of a defect to its overage), although a distinct linear relationship on a linear or logarithmic scale could not be satisfactorily shown and is also not expected. Therefore, a multi-parameter probability of detection (POD) model was developed, where an â versus a continuous signal analysis was based on the linear relationship between the SNR and a multi-parameter a. This POD model is based on data which were recorded within a flash thermography round robin test with nine participants. Metal test specimens with flat bottom holes (FBHs) were analyzed by calculating the SNR of the defect signatures in the thermograms as well as in the phase images as a function of defect parameters. The linear relationship of the experimental data to the multi-parameter a was verified by comparison to data obtained from an analytical model that is considering lateral thermal heat diffusion as well as to data obtained by numerical simulation. The resulting POD curves for the thermograms and phase images give an estimation for the detectability of the FBHs with known geometry in steel using different equipment and obtained by different participants. By comparing the SNRs of FBHs with similar geometries, this POD model was transferred to aluminum and copper as well.
Quantification of impact damages in CFRP and GFRP structures with thermography and ultrasonics
(2018)
For the quantification of impact damage in CFRP and GFRP structures, first passive thermography measurements have been performed at the front and rear side of the test specimens during low velocity impact load. After loading, the damaged structures have been investigated non-destructively with active thermography with flash excitation and with step heating and with two different ultrasonic methods (phased array and air coupled ultrasonics). The damage sizes quantified with all methods are evaluated and compared. In addition, the depth of the greatest damage inside the different test specimens is analysed.
Der Umfang der durch Impacts in Faserverbundmaterialien erzeugten Schäden ist abhängig von der Energie des Impacts, von der Zusammensetzung und dem Aufbau der Faserverbundwerkstoffe und von der Geometrie der Bauteile und hier im Wesentlichen von der Dicke des Bauteils. Der zerstörungsfreie Nachweis dieser Schädigungen kann sowohl mit Ultraschallverfahren als auch mit Verfahren der aktiven Thermografie erfolgen. Ein Vergleich der Nachweisempfindlichkeiten dieser Verfahren für die unterschiedlichen Schädigungen wird in diesem Beitrag in Abhängigkeit vom verwendeten Faserverbundwerkstoff (CFK und GFK), der Dicke des Materials und von der Impactenergie durchgeführt. Ergänzt werden die im Anschluss an die Schädigung eingesetzten ZfP-Verfahren mit zeitlich hochaufgelösten Thermografiemessungen, die bereits während des Impacts aufgenommen wurden.
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.
