  • Beschreibung: Material defects in fiber reinforced polymers such as delaminations can rapidly degrade the material properties or can lead to the failure of a component. Pulse thermography (PT) has proven to be a valuable tool to identify and quantify such defects in opaque materials. However, quantification of delaminations within semitransparent materials is extremely challenging. We present an approach to quantify delaminations within materials being semitransparent within the wavelength ranges of the optical excitation sources as well as of the infrared (IR) camera. PT experimental data of a glass fiber reinforced polymer with a real delamination within the material were reconstructed by one dimensional (1D) mathematical models. These models describe the heat diffusion within the material and consider semitransparency to the excitation source as well to the IR camera, thermal losses at the samples surfaces and a thermal contact resistance between the two layers describing the delamination. By fitting the models to the PT data, we were able to determine the depth of the delamination very accurately. Additionally, we analyzed synthetic PT data from a 2D simulation with our 1D-models to show how the thermal contact resistance is influenced by lateral heat flow within the material.
