Comparative study on point and line thermographic inspection for fiber orientation assessment of randomly oriented strand material
Composite materials are being successfully used in aeronautics for more than two decades. This great success is mainly because this kind of materials is typically lighter when compared to metals and more resistant to corrosion. Resistance and stiffness of composite materials are usually related to their fiber orientation. The development of non-destructive methods is required to assess this kind of property without damaging the sample. In this work, a non-destructive method based on infrared thermography is presented for fiber orientation assessment. More specifically, two approaches are presented and results are compared for fiber orientation assessment of randomly oriented strand parts. The first one is a point-by-point inspection based on pulsed thermal ellipsometry and the second one is a line approach based on flying laser spot inspection combined with neural artificial networks. Results showed that the second approach provides similar accuracy when compared to the first one; however, it is much faster which makes the second approach very interesting for industrial applications.
