Detection of Ceramic Material Crack Defect Based on the Ultrasonic Infrared Thermal Wave Technique

Abstract

For the needs of fast and efficient detection of crack defects of ceramic material, the ultrasonic infrared thermal wave method was applied for the research. Ultrasonic excitation is applied on a ceramic bowl which containing a crack defect, and the thermal infrared image of the crack was obtained by the thermal camera. The experimental results show that the ultrasonic infrared thermal wave method is suitable for the detection of crack damage of ceramic materials, and the detection speed is fast with a detection time is less than 1s and visual detection results.

Development of Temperature-strain Prediction Based on Deformation-induced Heating Mechanism in SCM440 Surface Cracked Shaft under Ultrasonic Excitation

“…The results revealed the good detectability of this inspection; VT could detect a known fatigue crack of 0.015 mm in length with a better possibility of detection (POD) than the traditional method (15). In addition, VT was capably performed on various materials such as concrete (16,17), ceramics (18), polymers (19,20), and metals (21)(22)(23). The aforementioned studies confirmed the usability, rapidity, and variety of this inspection method.…”

The Use of Vibrothermography for Detecting and Sizing low Energy Impact Damage of Cfrp Laminate

“…Consequently, many scholars started to utilize the vibrothermography to detect the defects in the materials. Initially, the vibrothermography was used to evaluate the cracks in the metal materials (Steel [17], Aluminum [18], Titanium and Inconel [19]) and ceramic materials [20]. Subsequently, this method was gradually utilized to detect composite materials as its application proceeding.…”
