Three-Dimensional Imaging and Analysis of Material Defects Using Flash Thermography
Flash thermography—a nondestructive evaluation technique that can rapidly detect defects in components—is limited in its ability to quantify defect size, depth, and severity. In this project, researchers developed a code that enables users to analyze video from flash thermography to characterize defects. The code has the potential to reduce costs for inspection of power plant […]
