Book excerpt: La méthode des éléments finis est un outil mathématique puissant qui permet la résolution des équations différentielles décrivant un processus physique donné. Elle est particulièrement adaptée à la résolution de problèmes non linéaires ayant des géométries complexes. Une de ces applications est la modélisation du transfert de chaleur dans un objet soumis à une inspection par la technique de thermographie infrarouge pulsée (PT). Les résultats de ce travail ont prouvé que les solutions obtenues numériquement correspondent aux résultats expérimentaux, ceci malgré les contraintes liées à la puissance de l'ordinateur utilisé (capacité mémoire, disque, etc.) afin de résoudre le problème d'une manière adéquate. Par conséquent, le modèle numérique peut être considéré comme un outil complémentaire à la caractérisation des défauts par la PT. Dans le cas d'une procédure d'inspection où les différenst types de défauts présents dans le spécimen sont connus a priori, la modélisation numérique peut être utilisée efficacement afin d'améliorer la caractérisation de ces défauts, grâce à la combinaison modélisation MEF / expérience. En se basant sur l'analyse qualitative de l'évolution temporelle des profils de température obtenus en pratique, on a démotnré qu'il est possible de déterminer le type de défaut par une simple comparaison de la forme expérimentale de l'évolution du contraste qui est dépendante du type de défaut, avec les résultats obtenus grâce au modèle numérique. Une fois que le défaut est connu, en cas de structures complexes de type "sandwich", sa profondeur peut être réduite automatiquement puisque la plupart de ces défauts typiques apparaît sur les interfaces des couches de l'échantillon. Afin de procéder à la détermination de la taille du défaut, tâche qui est souvent très difficile en cas de structures multicouches à cause du contraste flou observé sur le défaut, provoqué par les effets latéraux de diffusion de chaleur, les expressions de régression obtenues à partir des résultats de modélisation peuvent être utilisées. Dans ce contexte, comme il a été démontré, la valeur du contraste thermique maximal obtenue expérimentalement n'est pas un paramètre fiable qui peut être utilisée avec confiance comme indicateur quantitatif des caractéristiques du défaut (dans ce cas-ci, sa taille latérale). Ceci est principalement dû au niveau élevé de l'incertitude sur le contraste maximal de température [delta]Tmax déterminé à partir de l'expérience, ainsi qu'à la force dépendance de [delta]Tmax à l'égard de la puissance de la source de chlauer appliquée. Ce problème devient signficatif dans le contexte de chauffage non-uniforme inévitablement présent dans les expériences de thermographie pulsée. En ce qui concerne l'incertitude des mesures, dans les cas où le signal thermique du défaut est faible, l'incertitude peut devenir égale ou même plus grande que la [delta]Tmax obtenu. Cependant, dans la plupart des cas, elle représente un pourcentage significatif du [delta]Tmax déterminé expérimentalement. D'autre part, les effets de l'excitation non-uniforme se sont avérés partiellement éliminés quand la procédure proposée pour la sélection de la région saine adéquate est utilisée. La procédure est basée sur l'utilisation de l'Image de Distribution de Source (IDS) reconstruite à partir de plusieurs thermogrammes initiaux acquis juste après que l'excitation soit appliquée à l'échantillon (alors que les effets possibles des défauts ne sont pas encore visibles sur la surface du spécimen). Une fois appliquée, la méthodologie s'assure que les régions défectueuses et saines aient reçu une quantité égale d'énergie (chaleur) durant l'excitation (jusqu'à une différence tolérable donnée). Cependant, aucune des corrections et mesures de précaution ne peuvent éliminer la nature fortement incertaine des valeurs expérimentales de [delta]Tmax. D'un autre côté, la période T max d'apparition de [delta]Tmax semble être beaucoup moins affectée par dse incertitudes de mesure et est relativement sensible aux caractéristiques du défaut (telles que sa taille et sa profondeur). On a démontré que même s'il existe des différences dans les valeurs absolues, les périodes de contraste maximal de température obtenues expérimentalement et numériquement peuvent être reliées par une simple relation algébrique, qui est réduite à une différence à une constante donnée. Une fois que ce rapport est établi, la régression obtenue par la modélisation peut être utilisée efficacement afin de fournir les informations désirées sur les caractéristiques inconnues du défaut. D'ailleurs, dans plusieurs cas où seulement un nombre limité de défauts est disponible dans l'échantillon calibré, pour que le procédé d'inversion soit établi, ou quand les données de mesure sont trop bruitées pour permettre la formulation d'une méthodologie d'inversion fiable, la modélisation numérique permet la déterminaison plus simple et plus directe des relations de régression pour de futures caractérisations de défauts. Par conséquent, le nombre illimité de simulations peu coûteuses pouvant être effectuées permet la création d'ensemble global et complet de relations entre les caractéristiques de défauts et les variables significatives de la PT, telle que la période d'apparition du contraste maximal de température.

This book was released on 2012-08-03 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-contact, non-invasive methodology which allows for detection of thermal energy that is radiated from objects in the infrared band of the electromagnetic spectrum, for conversion of such energy into a visible image (such as a surface temperature map). This feature represents a great potential to be exploited in a vast variety of fields from aerospace to civil engineering, to medicine, to agriculture, etc. However, IRT is still not adequately enclosed in industrial instrumentation and there are still potential users who might benefit from the use of such a technique and who are not aware of their existence. This e-book conveys information about basic IRT theory, infrared detectors, signal digitalization and applications of infrared thermography in many fields such as medicine, foodstuff conservation, fluid-dynamics, architecture, anthropology, condition monitoring, non destructive testing and evaluation of materials and structures. The volume promotes an exchange of information between the academic world and industry, and shares methodologies which were independently developed and applied in specific disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermography is increasingly being used as an NDE tool to detect damage (corrosion, delamination, water incursion) in materials. Many empirical results have been collected over the years that allow the operator to get a "feel" for the extent of the problem. No simple models exist that provide quantitative results. Finite element analysis is done but is laborious and does not provide simple relationships which can be utilized for quantitative analysis of real world problems. In this report, we have performed a series of experiments where we vary many of the key parameters and perform simple thermographic modeling to find useful mathematical relationships.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With national trade barriers falling, causing the expansion of the com petitive global market, the question of quality control has become an essential issue for the 1990s. The time where the promise was to replace a product if it does not work seems to have passed; what is more impor tant now is not so much a reduction in what is going wrong but an increase of what is going right the first time (Feigenbaum 1990). This new trend is sometimes referred to as total quality. Among the many advantages ofthis zero-defect manufacturing policy, we can enumerate (Laurin 1990): superior marketability of wholly de pendable products, enormous gain in productivity, elimination of waste ful cost in replacing poor quality work and retrofitting rejected products from the field. Although total quality is a relatively new and attractive concept for mass products such as cars, consumer electronics and per sonal computers, in many fields, mainly aerospace and military, it has been the rule for years because of security reasons.
