Delamination Depth Imaging for Quasi-Static and Fatigue Load Testing Using Passive Thermography

Passive thermography is used to monitor small increases in temperature resulting from delamination damage formation in composite hat-stiffened panels during both quasi-static and fatigue loading. It has been observed that rapid damage formation produces heating. This is composed of two heat generation components. The first component is an instantaneous response due to an irreversible thermoelastic strain release. The second component is mechanical heating, at the interface of failure, due to fracture damage. This produces a transient rise in temperature as the heat diffuses to the surface. The first component defines the thermal start time for the transient response. A one-dimensional thermal model is fitted to the data pixel by pixel, to produce imagery of the damage depth. The results are compared to ultrasonic and X-ray CT data.
