    Non-destructive imaging of marqueteries based on a new infrared-terahertz fusion technique
    (Pergamon, 2022-06-25) Avdelidis, Nicolas P.; Hu, Jue; Zhang, Hai; Gargiulo, Gianfranco; Maldague, X.; Sfarra, Stefano; Zhang, Mingli; Yang, Dazhi
    Detection of subsurface defects has hitherto been regarded as an important element in the course of preserving cultural heritage. To do so, non-destructive imaging approaches for viewing and determining the location of splitting inside the sample under test are required, which constitute the subject of the present study. Both active thermography and terahertz imaging have demonstrated their potential in providing non-destructive inspection on cultural heritage objects. Conventionally, active thermography has been used to retrieve details on the defects as well as morphological data from the surface and subsurface, whereas pulsed terahertz imaging has been applied to record the internal material distribution. Here, the feature extraction, selection and fusion framework is extended to design a fusion process to merge the information obtained by both active thermography and terahertz imaging; in this way, the technique naturally inherits the strengths of both aforementioned imaging technologies. The fusion technique is able to produce images with high-contrast defect information located at different depths. To demonstrate the efficacy of the suggested technique, an experiment has been conducted on an ancient marquetry.

    Novel infrared-terahertz fusion 3D non-invasive imaging of plant fibre-reinforced polymer composites
    (Barking Elsevier Applied Science, 2022-05-14) Hu, Jue; Zhang, Hai; Maldague, X.; Santulli, Carlo; Sfarra, Stefano; Tian, Guiyun
    The reinforcement of polymer composites using plant fibres has received vast and growing attention for investigation owing to their capability to serve as semi-structural materials, especially as a substitute for fiberglass. However, in this type of research, the structural complexity, due to geometrical mismatches and inherent variability to the properties of vegetable fibres and plant fibre composites would benefit from more effective noninvasive inspection techniques. In this work, a novel infrared-terahertz fused approach was proposed, and a new unsupervised deep residual fusion algorithm was developed in order to combine the outputs from two different physical mechanisms. Specifically, infrared imaging provided the details of the defects and the morphological information from the surface and subsurface, while terahertz imaging recorded the distribution of the fibres and the resin. Finally, the fused infrared-terahertz slices were reconstructed into a form of 3D exhibition for inspection and evaluation of two plant fibre-reinforced polymer composites in first time using multiphysical imaging and fusion.

    An experimental and analytical study of micro-laser line thermography on micro-sized flaws in stitched carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites
    (Elsevier, 2016-04-01) Sheng, Yunlong; Yu, Ling Yao; Hassler, Ulf; Zhang, Hai; Maldague, X.; Robitaille, François; Genest, Marc; Joncas, Simon; Fernandes, Henrique; Holub, Wolfgang
    Stitching is used to reduce incomplete infusion of T-joint core (dry-core) and reinforce T-joint structure. However, it might cause new types of flaws, especially micro-sized flaws. In this paper, a new micro-laser line thermography (micro-LLT) is presented. X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) was used to validate the infrared results. The micro-LLT and micro-CT inspection are compared. Then, a finite element analysis (FEA) is performed. The geometrical model needed for finite element discretization was developed from micro-CT measurements. The model is validated for the experimental results. Finally a comparison of the experiments and simulation is conducted. The infrared experimental phenomenon and results are explained based on the FEA results

    Carbon fiber composites inspection and defect characterization using active infrared thermography : numerical simulation and experimental results
    (Optical Society of America, 2016-09-23) Zhang, Hai; Maldague, X.; Figueiredo, Alisson; Ibarra Castanedo, Clemente; Fernandes, Henrique; Guimarares, Gilmar
    Composite materials are widely used in the aeronautic industry. One of the reasons is because they have strength and stiffness comparable to metals, with the added advantage of significant weight reduction. Infrared thermography (IT) is a safe nondestructive testing technique that has a fast inspection rate. In active IT, an external heat source is used to stimulate the material being inspected in order to generate a thermal contrast between the feature of interest and the background. In this paper, carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers are inspected using IT. More specifically, carbon/PEEK (polyether ether ketone) laminates with square Kapton inserts of different sizes and at different depths are tested with three different IT techniques: pulsed thermography, vibrothermography, and line scan thermography. The finite element method is used to simulate the pulsed thermography experiment. Numerical results displayed a very good agreement with experimental results.

    Autonomous high resolution inspection of kiss-bonds skins of carbon nanotube reinforced nanocomposites using novel dynamic line-scan thermography approach
    (Elsevier Applied Science Publishers, 2020-03-06) Zhang, Hai; Verberne, Pieter; Maldague, X.; Meguid, Shaker A.; Ibarra Castanedo, Clemente
    In addition to being a serious threat to aircraft safety, kiss-bonding is also difficult to detect using conventional non-destructive testing techniques. It is the objective of this study to develop an autonomous high resolution technique to detect kiss-bonds and disbonds between carbon nanotube (CNT) skins and the host substrate of large-scale nanocomposite structures. The newly developed automated dynamic line-scan thermography (LST) approach is capable of speedy detection (up to 50 mm/s) of contact kiss-bonds as well as disbonds in laminated CNT-reinforced nanocomposite.

    Comparative study of infrared thermography, ultrasonic C-scan, X-ray computed tomography and terahertz imaging on composite materials
    (2017) Zhang, Hai; Maldague, X.
    L’évaluation non destructive (NDT) des matériaux composites est compliquée en raison de la vaste gamme de défauts rencontrés (y compris délaminage, microfissuration, fracture de la fibre, retrait des fibres, fissuration matricielle, inclusions, vides et dommages aux chocs). La capacité de caractériser quantitativement le type, la géométrie et l’orientation des défauts est essentielle. La thermographie infrarouge (IRT), en tant que technique de diagnostic d’image, peut satisfaire le besoin industriel croissant de NDT&E. Dans la thèse, la thermographie par excitation optique et mécanique a été utilisée pour étudier différents matériaux composites, dont 1) des préformes sèches en fibres de carbone, 2) des composites de fibres naturelles, 3) des composites hybrides de basalte-fibres de carbone soumis à une charge d’impact (séquence de type sandwich et séquence d’empilement intercalé), 4) des défauts micro-dimensionnés dans un composite polymère renforcé de fibre de carbone (CFRP) en 3D avec une couture de type « joint en T », et 5) des peintures sur toile qui peuvent être considérées comme des matériaux composites. Une nouvelle technique IRT de thermographie de ligne par micro-laser (micro-LLT) a été proposée pour l’évaluation des porosités submillimétriques dans le CFRP. La microscopie de points par micro-laser (micro-LST) et la micro-vibrothermographie (micro-VT) ont également été présentées avec l’utilisation de microlentilles. La thermographie pulsée (PT) et la thermographie modulée « à verrouillage » (LT) ont été comparées à la tomographie par rayons X (TC) pour validation. Le C-scan ultrasonore (UT) et l’imagerie par ondes tera-hertziennes en onde continue (CW THz) ont également été réalisés à des fins comparatives. L’inspection par techniques thermographiques est une question ouverte à discuter pour le public scientifique. En fait, la thermographie par impulsions (PPT) basée sur la transformation de phase a été utilisée pour estimer la profondeur des dommages. Pour traiter les données thermographiques, on a également utilisé la reconstruction de signal thermographique de base (B-TSR), la thermographie des composants principaux (PCT) et la thermographie des moindres carrés partiels (PLST). Enfin, une analyse complète et comparative basée sur le diagnostic d’images thermographiques a été menée en vue d’applications industrielles potentielles.

    Impact modelling and a posteriori non-destructive evaluation of homogeneous particleboards of sugarcane bagasse
    (Springer, 2018-01-12) Mokhtari, Mohammed-Yacine; Avdelidis, Nicolas P.; Sarasini, Fabrizio; Zhang, Hai; Fiorelli, Juliano; Maldague, X.; Peeters, Jeroen; Ibarra Castanedo, Clemente; Sfarra, Stefano; Lucca Sartori, Diogo de; Perilli, Stefano; Tirillò, Jacopo
    With a view to gaining an in-depth assessment of the response of particleboards (PBs) to different in-service loading conditions, samples of high-density homogeneous PBs of sugarcane bagasse and castor oil polyurethane resin were manufactured and subjected to low velocity impacts using an instrumented drop weight impact tower and four different energy levels, namely 5, 10, 20 and 30 J. The prediction of the damage modes was assessed using Comsol Multiphysics ®. In particular, the random distribution of the fibres and their lengths were reproduced through a robust model. The experimentally obtained dent depths due to the impactor were compared with the ones numerically simulated showing good agreement. The post-impact damage was evaluated by a simultaneous system of image acquisitions coming from two different sensors. In particular, thermograms were recorded during the heating up and cooling down phases, while the specklegrams were gathered one at room temperature (as reference) and the remaining during the cooling down phase. On one hand, the specklegrams were processed via a new software package named Ncorr v.1.2, which is an open-source subset-based 2D digital image correlation (DIC) package that combines modern DIC algorithms proposed in the literature with additional enhancements. On the other hand, the thermographic results linked to a square pulse were compared with those coming from the laser line thermography technique that heats a line-region on the surface of the sample instead of a spot. Surprisingly, both the vibrothermography and the line scanning thermography methods coupled with a robotized system show substantial advantages in the defect detection around the impacted zone.

    Thermographic non-destructive evaluation for natural fiber-reinforced composite laminates
    (Basel : MDPI, 2018-02-05) Avdelidis, Nicolas P.; Zhang, Hai; Sarasini, Fabrizio; Maldague, X.; Santulli, Carlo; Ibarra Castanedo, Clemente; Sfarra, Stefano; Fernandes, Henrique
    Natural fibers, including mineral and plant fibers, are increasingly used for polymer composite materials due to their low environmental impact. In this paper, thermographic non-destructive inspection techniques were used to evaluate and characterize basalt, jute/hemp and bagasse fibers composite panels. Different defects were analyzed in terms of impact damage, delaminations and resin abnormalities. Of particular interest, homogeneous particleboards of sugarcane bagasse, a new plant fiber material, were studied. Pulsed phase thermography and principal component thermography were used as the post-processing methods. In addition, ultrasonic C-scan and continuous wave terahertz imaging were also carried out on the mineral fiber laminates for comparative purposes. Finally, an analytical comparison of different methods was given.

    Inspecting historical vaulted ceilings by means of physical and chemical analyses : an integrated approach combining active infrared thermography and reflectance spectroscopy
    (INCOSE, 2020-03-01) Zhang, Hai; Cheilakou, Eleni; Maldague, X.; Theodorakeas, Panagiotis; Ibarra Castanedo, Clemente; Sfarra, Stefano; Koui, Maria
    The present study discusses the experimental physicochemical results obtained from the historical vaulted ceilings of an ancient church located in central Italy. Infrared thermography (IRT) in the active configuration was used to map subsurface defects caused by a seismic event and to discover buried structures, while the visible and near-infrared (VIS-NIR) fibre optics diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (FORS) technique was applied to identify the pigments of wall paintings decorating the vault. Historical photographs are useful to readers in order to clarify the state of conservation before and after the earthquake that took place in 2009. The combination of the experimental results can be useful in restoration processes.
