Abstract
Active thermography with lock-in excitation is a nondestructive testing method that is also feasible for testing of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). For validating the method extensive investigations were done during a research project in order to advance a standardization process. The most important parameters of optical and ultrasonic excitation thermography were investigated. For example, the appropriate selection of spectral sensitivity of the used infrared camera systems is important for recording undisturbed thermal signals. Regarding excitation, influences of excitation power and ultrasonic frequency were studied. Furthermore, material parameters such as CFRP layup are known for strongly affecting the results of measurement.
Kurzfassung
Als zerstörungsfreies Prüfverfahren ist die aktive Thermografie sehr gut zur Prüfung von kohlefaserverstärkten Verbundwerkstoffen (CFK) geeignet. Um den Standardisierungsprozess für dieses Verfahren zu unterstützen, wurde im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojektes eine umfangreiche Verfahrensvaldierung durchgeführt. Die wichtigsten Parameter für die Anregung mit optischen und ultraschallbetriebenen Quellen wurden systematisch untersucht. So ist unter anderem die Wahl der spektralen Empfindlichkeit des Infrarot-Kamerasystems wichtig, um ungestörte thermische Messdaten zu erfassen. Bezogen auf die Anregung wurden der Einfluss der Anregungsleistung und der Ultraschallfrequenz untersucht. Zudem wurden Materialparameter wie der Lagenaufbau von CFK untersucht, der dafür bekannt ist, die Messergebnisse wesentlich zu beeinflussen.
