Damage Detection Based on Pulsed Thermography
A reference-free pulsed thermography method was developed to quantitatively estimate the flat-bottom holes and delamination in plate-like structures, which supressed the effect of non-uniform heating obviously.
The defect location and size can be identified by the differential curve of thermal contrast.
