Abstract
A model has been developed to allow correlation between experimental pulsed/pulse phase thermography (PT/PPT) and theoretical results for two carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) case studies. It was found that the main limiting factor of the model accuracy was knowledge of thermal material properties such as conductivity and specific heat. Where these properties were accurately known the model performed very well on comparison with experimental PT results. A good correlation enables further understanding of the physics behind PT and PPT and provides a means of establishing the experimental parameters required to observe damage in different materials. The model allows the experimental technique to be appropriately tailored to more complex situations including configurations of several materials. Comparison of experimental

PT and PPT data for the two studies highlights the advantages of PPT over PT due to its deeper probing and sensitivity to surface effects such as reflections. Close Page 1
