Anwendungsbreiche und Grenzen der Blitzthermografie - Entwicklung eines anwendungsnahen Standards
(2012)
Dieser Beitrag fasst die Untersuchungsergebnisse zu den Verfahrensgrenzen der Blitzthermografie zur Ortung und Charakterisierung von Fehlstellen in Metallen zusammen. Regeln zur Abschätzung von Eindringtiefe und Tiefenauflösung werden vorgestellt und überprüft. Weiterhin werden Vorgehensweisen zur Optimierung des Intensitätskontrastes von Fehlstellenanzeigen vorgestellt.
Einfache analytische Abschätzungen werden durch eine Vielzahl von experimentellen Untersuchungen an Kupfer- und Stahl-Probekörpern ergänzt. Dabei wurden sowohl die Parameter der Blitzlichtanregung als auch der Messwerterfassung umfassend variiert.
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) specimens with artificial delaminations and with impact damage have been characterized using active thermography with flash excitation. Systematic investigations have been performed in four different experimental configurations of flash lamps and infrared (IR) camera in transmission as well as in reflection alignment. It is shown here that the diffusivities determined for the sound and for the damaged areas give a good measure for damage characterization. Although reflection measurements also give information about defect depth, reflection measurements from only one side are not sufficient for assessing the whole cross section of the specimens. Thus, depending on sample thickness the lateral size of damage could only be determined from reflections measurements from both sides or from transmission measurements. In this paper, measurement accuracy and limits of flash thermography for the investigation of CFRP specimens are presented in detail together with quantitative data concerning the defects.
Lockin thermography as well as flash thermography are very well suited for non-destructive testing and characterisation of inhomogeneities and damage in CFRP structures. Both methods are applied more and more in research and industry, but until know it is not clear which are the advantages of one method against the other. In
this paper, results of two research projects concerning the validation and standardisation of both methods are presented. Three different types of CFRP test specimens consisting of well-defined flat bottom holes, of artificial delaminations made of PTFE plates embedded in CFRP and of real impact damage have been investigated systematically with flash and lockin excitation. Here, the phase images of both methods are compared qualitatively as well as quantitatively.
In diesem Beitrag werden Verfahren und Strategien basierend auf optischen und thermografischen Methoden zur Lokalisierung, Erfassung und Bewertung von Putzablösungen, Ablösungen von Fassadenelementen und Rissen vorgestellt. Abgelöste Fassadenbereiche und Risse zeigen dabei sowohl geometrische als auch thermische Auffälligkeiten, die im Rahmen eines Monitoring auch über größere Zeiträume verfolgt werden können. Als optische Verfahren werden die trackingbasierte taktile 3D‐Erfassung von Oberflächenmerkmalen und die Stereophotogrammetrie eingesetzt. Zur Charakterisierung verdeckter Ablösungen und Bauteile wird die aktive Thermografie mit natürlicher und künstlicher Erwärmung der Bauteiloberfläche verwendet. Systematische Untersuchungen an Probekörpern und Fallstudien (Magdeburger Dom, Wandbild in Cobbelsdorf, Giebichensteinbrücke) zeigen, wie u. a. mit der Verfahrenskombination die Schäden charakterisiert werden können.
Lockin thermography is a well-suited method for the characterization of structures made of both metal and fiber reinforced plastic. In most cases, only phase images are analyzed, although the amplitude images might contain useful information as well. Thus, systematic studies of lockin thermography are presented, assessing amplitude and phase images for the detection and quantification of defects in isotropic (steel) and anisotropic (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) materials. Characterized defects are flat bottom holes with different diameters and various remaining wall thicknesses as well as crossed notches at different depths. The excitation frequency was varied while keeping the number of analyzed excitation periods nearly constant for each material. The data analysis was focused on the detectability of the defects both in the amplitude and phase images, including the determination of the signal-to-noise ratio and of the spatial resolution. As a result, the limits of defect detectability and spatial resolution are given for each material
Standards for the application of flash thermography as well as of lock-in thermography are urgently required.
Both methods are applied more and more often in research and industry, but still extensive validation procedures are required for each individual application. In this paper, the results of two research projects concerning the validation and standardisation of both methods are presented. This includes results of a detailed study of the influence of measurements parameters on flash thermography, of the comparison of the lateral resolution obtained with flash and lock-in thermography and the description of a draft standard for flash thermography.
