In diesem Beitrag wird eine Methode zur Charakterisierung von
offenen Oberflächenrissen mittels aktiver Thermografie präsentiert. Hierzu wird die
Probe ortsfest lokal mit einem Laser erwärmt und die resultierende
Oberflächentemperatur mittels Infrarotkamera aufgenommen. Bei einer ungestörten
Probe ergibt sich ein rotationssymmetrisches Temperaturprofil. Betrachtet man
hingegen einen Bereich mit einem Oberflächenriss, so kommt es durch die Störung
des lateralen Wärmetransports zu einer unsymmetrischen Temperaturverteilung.
Durch die quantitative Analyse diese Unsymmetrie lassen sich Aussagen über
geometrische Parameter des Risses treffen.
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.
Heat transfer modeling of local thermal excitation for surface crack detection and characterization
(2010)
In the presented paper the use of local excitation (laser beam) for crack detection and
characterization is simulated. As we could see, using the temperature differences between two
reference points was large enough to detect and characterize the crack, even for such small value of
laser power as 2 W. The influence of radiation and convection on the temperature difference was
negligible (about 0.1%). The influence of heat conduction, in case of crack with air, was very small
(about 3%). The main mechanism which influences the temperature differences between the
reference points is the heat conduction in steel. From the presented results one can see that
temperature differences are increasing with an increase of the crack depth or the crack length. Better
resolution and characterization of the crack depths and lengths should be achieved with increased
duration of heating time or the laser power. We could also see that the best position for the laser
spot to characterize the crack is the closest one. Also, comparison of 2D and 3D simulation results
for circular heat source used as local excitation mechanism had showed that only full 3D modelling
will allow accomplishing a quantitative level of comparison between experimental and simulation
results.
