About this document
Infrared NDT of Aeronautical Plastics by alexander is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses applying infrared non-destructive testing (IR-NDT) to detect subsurface defects in different aeronautical plastic materials, including thermoplastics (HDPE, PVC, PMMA) and a thermoset composite (GFRP). The experimental process involves heating samples and capturing infrared images of their cooling sequences. Low thermal diffusivity in plastics allows defects to be detected from disruptions to the typical logarithmic cooling curve with a slope of -0.5. Peak thermal contrast indicates
