About
Patrik Karlsson is a leading figure in the field of non-destructive evaluation (NDE), with a focused expertise in advanced thermographic imaging techniques for aerospace materials. His research centers on the development of holistic inspection systems that integrate multiple infrared imaging modalities to detect and characterize damage in critical composite structures. Karlsson’s most notable contribution is his pioneering work on triple IR imaging, a novel approach that combines active thermography methods to overcome the limitations of single-technique inspections. His 2016 paper on this subject, which has garnered 15 citations, provides a foundational framework for a new class of robust, in-service damage testing tools. This work is particularly significant for the aerospace industry, where the increasing use of composite materials demands reliable, non-destructive methods for both manufacturing quality assurance and operational safety. By addressing the challenge of detecting subtle subsurface flaws in complex composite laminates, Karlsson’s research directly supports the development of safer, more durable aircraft. His contributions are essential reading for engineers and researchers working at the intersection of materials science, optics, and structural health monitoring.
