Synthesizing Data of Active Infrared Thermography under Optical and Ultrasonic Stimulation of Products Made of Complex-Shaped CFRP

摘要

We propose a combined method for thermal nondestructive testing using optical and ultrasonic stimulation by means of combining individual thermograms obtained at the corresponding time points. The resulting sequences of infrared thermograms provide more efficient identification of defects of various types and can also be processed using well-known algorithms, for example, thermographic signal reconstruction, principal component analysis, etc. We obtained experimental results on a composite CFRP sample imitating aircraft ribs using a robotic manipulator.
