The delamination of a plaster layer, which covers a concrete structure, can be detected by active thermography. In this paper, a systematic series of measurements is described, where the gap between plaster and concrete was varied. These investigations were compared to FEM-simulations. The experimental and simulated data were in good agreement. It was found that the used experimental setup yields only marginal differences between fixed and lose plaster in the thermal behavior. However, significant characteristics within the temperature decays could be resolved, which are clearly related to the air gap.
In this article, we present a measurement procedure to gain information about depth and angle of open surface cracks. The method is based on a local excitation with, e.g., a laser. The resulting surface temperature is recorded with an infrared camera. Based on this data, crack-caused anisotropies in the lateral heat flow can be detected and exploited to characterise the cracks.
The experimental set-up is based on a Nd:YAG laser. The beam is focused on the test sample by using an optical scanner to generate the required lateral heat flow. The time resolved temperature distribution is recorded with a high-speed infrared camera (InSb FPA, 3 to 5 µm) providing a frame rate of up to 500 Hz.
Up to now, only qualitative information was gained from measurements of this type. Whereas the local transient behaviour of temperature distribution provides also quantitative information of the crack parameters. The general concept of the method presented herein has already been published [1], but the mentioned publication is focused on the crack depth only.
In this paper, we can show that it is possible to simultaneously resolve the angle and depth and, in particular, the depth of non-perpendicular cracks.
