Defect detection and characterization in composite materials using square pulse thermography coupled with singular value decomposition analysis and thermal quadrupole modeling

In this study, square pulse thermography is used to detect and characterize defects in carbon/epoxy composite plates. Defects are polymeric disks inserted between plies at different depths in the samples. A practical experimental set-up is developed: temperature measurements are only required on the...
