Abstract
A new method for model-based inversion for pulse thermography of composites takes advantage of heat conduction physics to improve the interpretation of pulse thermography NDE data. The method is based on representing measured surface temperature as a linear combination of contributions from the original pulse plus reflections from delaminations and the back wall. Linear inversion is used to solve for the reflection intensities, providing a representation of the subsurface. We previously reported on the development of this technique and now report on its application to the inspection of a variety of composite specimens.
