An indispensable resource for the use of infrared thermography in industrial nondestructive testing
Machine vision, especially infrared thermography, provides industries with a more efficient and cost-effective method of detecting production flaws than traditional means of human inspection. The trend in industry today is toward inspecting and evaluating products in a nondestructive manner. For that purpose, infrared thermography has become a prime means of ensuring quality without damaging product. This comprehensive reference for professionals provides total coverage of infrared thermography inspection, theory, and practice in nondestructive testing (NDT).
Xavier Maldague provides a comprehensive introduction to Thermographic Nondestructive Testing (TNDT) and its current applications, followed by major sections on the fundamental concepts, passive and active thermography, and case studies in industry. A complementary package called IRNDT is available on the Internet for use with problems at the end of each chapter or as a tool for image processing. Detailed coverage includes:
* Introduction to thermal emission and heat transfer
* Infrared sensors and optics fundamentals
* Images and image analysis
* Experimental concepts
* Active thermography and quantitative analysis: pulsed, step, lockin, and vibrothermography
* Case studies in passive and active thermography
Theorie, instrumentelle Ausrüstung, experimentelle Praxis und Anwendungen: Dieses Buch führt Sie ein in die zerstörungsfreie Werkstoffprüfung mit IR-Strahlung. Im Unterschied zu anderen Büchern, werden hier auch Eigenschaften von Materialien behandelt, z.T. anhand von Fallstudien aus der Industrie. Das Programm IRNDT (abrufbar vom Wiley-ftp-Server) enthält eine Bilddatenbank, die Ihnen beim Durchspielen der besprochenen Beispiele hilft. Mit zahlreichen Übungsaufgaben!
