Thermographic detection of adhesive-bond and interlaminar flaws in composites
Tóm tắt
This paper reports the development of a liquid-crystal passive thermographic technique for the detection of adhesive-bond-line and interlaminar flaws in composite materials. The technique was successfully used for the detection of flaws in three composite systems: E-glass/epoxy, graphite/epoxy and HMC. Thermographic results are compared to ultrasonic C-scan results to assess the relative effectiveness of the new technique. A photomicrographic study was also used to verify the detected flaws and to characterize the type and extent of the actual damage.
