Ultrasonic infrared thermography is an active thermography methods. In this method, mechanical energy is introduced to a structure, it is converted into heat energy at the defects, and an infrared camera detects the heat for inspection. The heat generation mechanisms are dependent on many factors such as structure characteristics, defect type, excitation method and contact condition, which make it difficult to predict heat distribution in ultrasonic infrared thermography. In this paper, a method to simulate frictional heating, known to be one of the main heat generation mechanisms at the closed defects in metal structures, is proposed for ultrasonic infrared thermography. This method uses linear vibration analysis results without considering the contact boundary condition at the defect so that it is intuitive and simple to implement. Its advantages and disadvantages are also discussed. The simulation results show good agreement with the modal analysis and experiment result.

양피지로 만들어진 고문서에 필사된 후 오랜 시간동안 부식되고 자연 훼손되어 해독하기 어려운 거란문자를 문서를 손상시키지 않으면서 비접촉방식으로 가시화하기 위해 능동형 적외선 열화상 기술을 개발하였다. 문서 표면에 할로겐 램프를 이용하여 광대역 적외선을 정현파 형태로 변조/입사시키면서 서체 부분과 기록용지 표면으로부터 차별적으로 방사되는 적외선을 영상화함으로서 훼손되어 잘 보이지 않는 고대 글자를 가시화 하였다. 능동형 적외선 영상으로부터 거란 문자로 추정되는 문자들을 기존의 광학영상이나 적외선 영상보다 명확하게 판독할 수 있었으며 그 결과로서 영어 알파벳의 'd' 음가를 가지는 거란문자인 ' '나 'ri' 발음의 거란문자인 ' '를 포함하여 다양한 거란문자를 확인할 수 있었다. 이로서 본 연구를 통해 개발된 능동형 적외선 기술이 향후 고문서 자료의 디지털 복원과 보존에 능동형 적외선 열화상기술이 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Infrared thermography uses infrared energy radiated from any objects above absolute zero temperature, and the range of its application has been constantly broadened. As one of the active test techniques detecting radiant energy generated when energy is applied to an object, ultrasound infrared thermography is a method of detecting defects through hot spots occurring at a defect area when 15~100 kHz of ultrasound is excited to an object. This technique is effective in detecting a wide range affected by ultrasound and vibration in real time. Especially, it is really effective when a defect area is minute. Therefore, this study conducted thermography through lock-in signal processing when an actual defect exists inside the austenite STS304 seamless pipe, which simulates thermal fatigue cracks in a nuclear power plant pipe. With ultrasound excited, this study could detect defects on the rear of a pipe by using an aluminium reflector. Besides, by regulating the angle of the aluminium reflector, this study could detect both front and rear defects as a single infrared thermography image.

In these days, new and renewable energy is getting popular around globe and wind power generator is one of the renewable energy. In this study, we conducted a study on defect detection of composite material blade for wind power generator by applying active infrared thermography and produced a defect test piece by applying composite material used for blade of wind power generator. An infrared thermal camera and 2 kW halogen lamp are used for the purpose of research as equipments. Also, we analyzed temperature characteristic by using infrared thermal camera after checking a heat source on a test piece and found effectiveness of infrared thermography to blade of wind power generator by detecting defects resulting from temperature difference of a test piece, which eventually improve the safety and reliability of the composite material blade.

Temperature distribution measured to estimate the condition of an electrical apparatus is an absolute reference for the apparatus conditions and the difference between the reference temperature and the current temperature. Because of passive thermography, without the external thermal stimulation, the difference in surface temperature between the region of interest and back ground shows that the results can apply only to the estimation or the monitoring for the condition of loose terminal and the overload pertaining to the rise in temperature. However, a thermal diffusion in the active thermography is differently generated by the structure and condition of the surface and subsurface. This paper presents a nondestructive test using this behavior and deals with the results by heat injection and cooling to the apparatus. The buried discontinuity of subsurface could be detected by these techniques.

보빈 치아 균열을 능동형 적외선 열화상 기술을 이용하여 가시화 하였다. 보빈 치아에 인공 크랙을 발생시킨 후, 외부에서 사인파 형태의 열을 가하면서 보빈 치아에서 방사되는 적외선을 적외선 카메라로 측정하여 이미지화 하였다. 열원의 조화주기와 동기시켜 순차적으로 측정한 보빈 치아의 이미지로부터 열원과 의 위상정보를 추출한 후 이를 다시 영상화 하여 위상 이미지를 생성하였다. 실험 결과로부터 육안이나 종래의 수동형 적외선 이미지에서는 검출하기 어려웠던 치아 크랙이 본 연구와 같은 능동적 적외선 검사방법을 통하여 보다 효과적으로 검사 할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

능동적 열화상 기법은 재료의 수동적 열적결함에 있어 기존의 적외선 열화상 기법에 비해 우수한 결함 검출능력을 보이는 것으로 알려져 있다. 적외선 비파괴 검사는 지금까지 다양한 검출 기법에 대한 발전이 이루어졌으나 신뢰성에는 다소 의문이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 위상잠금 열화상기법을 적용하여 각각 다른 결함의 크기와 깊이의 인공결함을 갖는 SM45C 시험편을 가지고 제안된 기법을 검증하고, 불확도를 평가하여 위상잠금 열화상 기법을 이용한 결함의 크기측정에 대한 신뢰성을 검토하였다.

A form of measured temperature distribution to estimate condition of a electrical apparatus is a absolute reference for condition of the apparatus, time rate of transition, and difference between reference and currently temperature. Because passive thermography which has not injection of external thermal stimulation shows difference of temperature being on surface of a structure and temperature difference between the structure and back ground, the result could apply only to estimation or monitor for condition of terminal relaxation and overload related with temperature rising. However, a thermal flow in active thermography is differently generated by structure and condition of surface and subsurface. This paper presents the nondestructive testing using the properties and includes the results by heat injection and cooling to the apparatus. The buried discontinuity of subsurface could be detected by these techniques.

This paper presents an automated subsurface micro void detection technique based on pulsed infrared thermography for inspecting epoxy molding compounds (EMC) used in electronic device packaging. Subsurface micro voids are first detected and visualized by extracting a lock-in amplitude image from raw thermal images. Binary imaging follows to achieve better visualization of subsurface micro voids. A median filter is then applied for removing sparse noise components. The performance of the proposed technique is tested using 36 EMC samples, which have subsurface (below $150{\mu}m{\sim}300{\mu}m$ from the inspection surface) micro voids ($150{\mu}m{\sim}300{\mu}m$ in diameter). The experimental results show that the subsurface micro voids can be successfully detected without causing any damage to the EMC samples, making it suitable for automated online inspection.
