Online (passive) thermographic inspection of overlap joints aluminium and zinc coated steel sheets made by cold metal transfer weld brazing process was explored. Different experimental trials were conducted for demonstrating the feasibility to detect porosities, improper bead differentiate pre temperature. The whole monitored using infrared cameras in different wavelength region. Image analysis algorithms developed reconstruct thermal images that contain signatures defects extract...
The detection and characterization of cracks prior to damage is a technologically economically highly significant task very importance when it comes safety-relevant structures. evaluation components life closely related the presence in it. Laser thermography has already high capability for surface geometry artificial flaws metallic samples. Crack samples at temperature present manufacturing scenario. During casting process billets, form, due suboptimal cooling rates. These reduce value...
Filtering of the sub-band spectral radiation is an attractive technique to overcome lower efficiencies direct conversion thermophotovoltaic technology. The poor performance these systems due relatively small portion incident energy being above bandgap photovoltaic cell. To effectively filter majority sub-bandgap and re-employ it as regenerative heat, a viable solution design efficient spectrally selective ideally matched cell's bandgap. Here, we have explored high contrast amorphous silicon...
The induction heating using a circular coil in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) laminates produces unique patterns, significantly influenced by the fiber orientations each layer and electrical contacts between layers. This study investigates these patterns thermography reveals transition from to rectangular under influence of coil. shift is driven changes interlaminar microstructure, particularly increasing separation at interfaces, interpreted as fewer contacts. research also presents...
Zusammenfassung In diesem Beitrag werden zerstörungsfreie Untersuchungen mittels aktiver Thermografie an Probekörpern aus CFK und GFK mit unterschiedlichen künstlichen Fehlstellen vorgestellt. Dabei wird die zeitliche örtliche Temperaturverteilung nach der Erwärmung Blitzlampen oder einem Infrarot-Strahler einer Infrarot-Kamera erfasst.

Singapore produced more than 982,000 tonnes of plastic waste in 2021. Plastic is among the top 4 generated wastes volume. Astonishingly, has one lowest recycling rates just 6% compared to other 3 highly (99% for ferrous metal, 39% paper, 99% construction waste). Critically, lack effective sorting technologies key factor that inhibits rate. <br/> Existing relies on manual checking printed RIC wastes. As codes could be small size, at different locations objects, and potentially contaminated...
Detecting defects on aerospace surfaces is critical to ensure safety and maintain the integrity of aircraft structures. Traditional methods often need more precision efficiency for effective defect detection. This paper proposes an innovative approach that leverages deep learning infrared imaging techniques detect with high precision. The core contribution our work lies in accurately detecting size depth defects. Our method involves segmenting calculating its centre determine depth. We...
Abstract Particle reinforced polymer matrix composites (PMC) are widely used in the military aviation industry as a stealth coating for incident radar attenuation. These coatings made up of many layers different materials with varying thicknesses.
