Klappentext

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
