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.
Probability of detection analysis of round robin test results performed by flash thermography
(2016)
Within the scope of a standardisation research project, a flash thermography round robin test that evaluates reliability, comparability and efficiency of different testing situations was performed. Data recorded at metal test specimens with flat bottom holes (FBHs) were analysed by calculating the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the defect signatures in the thermograms as well as in the phase images as a function of defect parameters. A new 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 linear relationship 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 aluminium and copper as well.
Within the scope of a DIN INS project, a flash thermography round robin test that evaluates reliability, comparability and efficiency of different testing situations is organized. The results give information about the detectability of defects e.g. by their size and depth, the evaluation method and by the materials used. Besides, the influence 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.
Carbon-fiber reinforced composites are becoming more and more important in the production of light-weight structures, e.g., in the automotive and aerospace industry. Thermography is often used for non-destructive testing of These products, especially to detect delaminations between different layers of the composite.
In this presentation, we aim at methods for defect reconstruction from thermographic measurements of such carbon-fiber reinforced composites. The reconstruction results shall not only allow to locate defects, but also give a quantitative characterization of the defect properties. We discuss the simulation of the measurement process using finite element methods, as well as the experimental validation on flat bottom holes.
Especially in pulse thermography, thin boundary layers with steep temperature gradients occurring at the heated surface need to be resolved. Here we use the combination of a 1D analytical solution combined with numerical solution of the remaining defect equation. We use the simulations to identify material Parameters from the measurements.
Finally, fast heuristics for reconstructing defect geometries are applied to the acquired data, and compared for their accuracy and utility in detecting different defects like back surface defects or delaminations.
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.
Im Rahmen des INS-Projekts „Durchführung von Ringversuchen zur Normung und Standardisierung der aktiven Thermografie mit Blitzlichtanregung“ wurden Ringversuche durchgeführt, die die Zuverlässigkeit, Vergleichbarkeit und Effektivität der Blitzthermografie für unterschiedliche Prüfprobleme nachweisen sollten. Weiterhin sollten diese Untersuchungen als Methodenvalidierungsstudie die Richtigkeit und Präzision der Blitzthermografie nachweisen und Vergleichsinformationen unterschiedlicher Geräteausstattungen liefern. Im Normausschuss NA 062-08-27 AA „Visuelle und thermografische Prüfung“ des DIN werden die Ergebnisse die Erarbeitung eines Normentwurfs zur Blitzthermografie unterstützen. In diesem Beitrag werden die Ringversuche beschrieben und ausgewählte Ergebnisse präsentiert.
