Detection of dis-bond between honeycomb and composite facesheet of an Inner Fixed Structure bond panel of a jet engine nacelle using infrared thermographic techniques
TL;DR: The Inner Fixed Structure (IFS) bond panel is a honeycomb sandwich panel with CFRP facesheet and a heat shield on one side, and a perforated CFRP faceheet on the other side, of a jet engine nacell as mentioned in this paper.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
In-line laser thermography for crack detection at elevated temperature: A Numerical modeling study
Nithin Puthiyaveettil,Sruthi Krishna,Renil Thomas Kidangan,Sreedhar Unnikrishnakurup,C. V. Krishnamurthy,Mathias Zeigler,Philipp Myrach,Krishnan Balasubramaniam +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a heat transfer model for laser thermography to study the thermal contrast variation with increase in surface temperature using finite element method (FEM) and developed an algorithm to produce the vicinity of crack.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of the fiber breakage orientation in carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites using induction thermography
TL;DR: In this article, a new scheme deploying induction thermography to detect fiber breakage and identify its orientation is proposed, which is experimentally demonstrated on samples with realistic fiber breakages produced in a controlled manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of interlaminar microstructure on the induction heating patterns of CFRP laminates
Renil Thomas Kidangan,Sreedhar Unnikrishnakurup,C. V. Krishnamurthy,Krishnan Balasubramanian +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the impact of interlaminar microstructure on the induction heating patterns of CFRP laminates was investigated using thermography technique, and the effect of varying inter-laminar distance was modeled as an effective through-thickness electrical conductivity in the numerical model.
Application of infrared thermography technique for the monitoring of cold metal transfer (CMT) joining of aluminium to galvanized steel
Sreedhar Unnikrishnakurup,Renil Thomas Kidangan,N. P. Vengara,Krishnan Balasubramaniam,Prabhu Rajagopal,K. V. Phani Prabhakar,G. Padmanabham +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of using noncontact infrared thermography as a potential tool to monitor the CMT welding process is explored, and a correlation between measured online thermal indications with the weld anomalies is successfully attempted and the results are compared with the conventional post-weld NDT inspection methods.
