چکیده مقاله
In the present research, the applicability of active thermography using ultrasonic excitation in detecting delamination defects has been investigated experimentally. In this regard, A Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) Sample was prepared through the hand layup method. PTFE sheet pieces were considered as delamination defects and were located inside the sample. The delamination defects were considered in the three different sizes. Moreover, three delaminations with similar sizes were placed in three different depths. The ultrasonic excitations were conducted using a Piezoelectric PZT transducer. The excitation frequency was adjusted to a constant value. The ultrasonic thermography inspections were performed with three different excitation powers. The sample was constrained in the fixed-fixed mode. The thermography inspections were carried out with three various excitation times. Results indicated that the defect of a maximum size has been detected in all inspections. Moreover, the detectability improves with increasing the excitation power and the stimulation time.
