Classification of Spot-Welded Joints in Laser Thermography Data Using Convolutional Neural Networks

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
Spot welding is a crucial process step in various industries. However, classification of spot welding quality is still a tedious process due to the complexity and sensitivity of the test material, which drain conventional approaches to its limits.

Defect Automatic Identification of Eddy Current Pulsed Thermography [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Sensors, 2014
Eddy current pulsed thermography (ECPT) is an effective nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) technique, and has been applied for a wide range of conductive materials. Manual selected frames have been used for defects detection and quantification. Defects are indicated by high/low temperature in the frames. However, the variation of surface

From Thermal Inspection to Updating a Numerical Model of a Race Bicycle: Comparison with Structural Dynamics Approach

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
Carbon fiber bicycle frames are complex-shaped structures and are prone to delaminations and difficult to inspect. The use of finite element model updating is common in structural dynamics but not so common in active thermography inspection.

Detection of Differentiated Tissue with Pulse Thermography

open access: yesProceedings of the 2014 International Conference on Quantitative InfraRed Thermography, 2014
We report on the study of the relationship between the length of the pulses and the depth of the boundary to be detected in thermally transmissive tissues within the therapeutic window, red to IR spectral range. We use a three-layer theory to predict the possibility of detection of an abnormal growth. 1.
