Thermographic Inspection
Advantages of the method :
Global examination of part
Only ONE SIDE access is required for the examination
Real Time inspection
Apply for all composite structure and materials even porous
not very sensitive to part geometry, well suited for large surfaces
Disavantages :
Sensitive to heating mode (type,duration,position)
Response time must be studied
Exact composition of the pieces and the thicknesses must be known
Less definition than Ultrasonic C-Scan and Radiography
Inhomogeneous heating on complex part

Conclusions
Global method, quick, well suited for detection on
composite and complex shaped surface, and for large areas
Easy to set up on site (maintenance, expertise, production
control)
Quick evolution of the technology, lower price of detectors,
new powerfull software for analysis tools will increase :
maximum inspected thickness
spatial and thermal resolution
velocity of inspection
