About
C. Ibarra-Castanedo is a leading researcher in the field of non-destructive testing (NDT), with a primary focus on advanced active infrared thermography techniques. His work centers on the development and comparative analysis of robotic inspection systems, particularly for evaluating complex composite materials like carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). A key contribution is his study of Line Scan and Flying Line Active IR Thermography, where he demonstrated how these methods, mounted on a 6-axis robot, can dynamically acquire thermal data from specimens with increasing geometric complexity—from planar surfaces to convex shapes. This research, published in 2018 and garnering 6 citations, addresses critical challenges in automated, high-speed inspection for aerospace and manufacturing industries. By integrating robotics with thermographic NDT, Ibarra-Castanedo has advanced the practical application of these techniques for real-world, non-planar components, enhancing defect detection capabilities. His work is notable for bridging the gap between laboratory methods and industrial automation, making him a respected voice in the evolution of dynamic thermal inspection systems.
