7 NDT technologies Ultrasonic testing Transmitter/Receiver Gel coat Defect Pulse-echo testing Surface echo Defect echo A-scan High-frequency sound waves (20 KHz 2 GHz) generated by a piezoelectric element or a laser Reflection and transmission of sound at any material interface (CFRP steel air) Pulse-echo: Measuring of the reflected sound Runtime based depth (d) determination of defects d = cm t 2 cm: Average sound velocity of the material t: Sound propagation time A-scan: Sound intensity plotted against time B-scan: Vertical cut through the workpiece C-scan: Horizontal cut through the workpiece D-scan: TOF of the first back wall echo B-scan vs. C-scan Seite 7

8 NDT technologies Applications for ultrasonic testing Photo US C-scan Testing of adhesive hybrid joints (such as CFRP & steel) Adhesive size and spread is not predictable How big is the area of the adhesion? Detection of voids and inner cavities in FRP parts 43 mm 42,83 mm Measurement of adhesive hybrid joints Detection and classification of delamination caused by impact defects How big is the defective area? Which layers are affected? (depth of the defect) Wall-thickness measurement with one-sided accessibility Detection of impact defects Seite 8

9 NDT technologies Lockin-thermography All materials with T > 0K emit thermal radiation Stefan-Boltzmann law (radiated power from a black body) P = σ A T 4 σ: Stefan-Boltzmann constant A: surface area Sinusoidal thermal excitation Stefan-Boltzmann law Pixel-wise Fourier transform of image sequences In the resulting phase images, all effects due to illumination inhomogeneity and infrared surface emission are canceled out Visualization of thermal wave propagation by the phase images Lockin-thermography Seite 9

10 Ultrasonic testing and Lockin-thermography Comparison Ultrasonic testing Lockin-thermography testing Axial resolution Lateral resolution Testing range Testing speed Penetration depth Thermography suited for a fast, extensive near surface defect detection Ultrasonics most suitable for a high-resolution defect classification even in deeper layers Conclusion: 1.) Fast large area thermography scan for ROI determination 2.) Ultrasonic scan of the ROI for defect detection and classification 3.) Fusion of NDT data sets Seite 10
