“…The emissivity of the specimen surface and other factors have to be considered for accurate temperature measurements (298). Passive thermography is also used in mechanical testing, especially fatigue testing, to observe the evolution of the specimen temperature caused by increasing level of damage (299,300).…”

Because of their unique properties, polymers and polymer–matrix composites pose both challenges and opportunities for nondestructive testing. The increasing use of these materials creates a demand for nondestructive verification of various properties or specifications, determination of structural integrity, or prediction of service‐life. On the other hand, development of new nondestructive test methods, improved sensitivity, or faster data acquisition and analysis may allow for nondestructive testing applications that hitherto did not seem feasible or economical. This article provides a brief overview of established methods and emerging applications in nondestructive testing of polymers and polymer–matrix composites.

“…Inc., Japan), which can evaluate velocities from 50 to 2000 m/s and also sense an object more than 5 mm in diameter. This system uses a planar sensor (500 mm × 300 mm) with a long-wavelength IR beam, which is capable of detecting an incident bullet in more detail [28,29]. To confirm whether the incidence bullet was perpendicular to the surface of the bulletproof material, an incidence angle detector was placed in front of the material at a distance of 1.0 m. 15 cm behind the bulletproof material, we placed a 0.5-mm-thick Al witness plate to verify whether the bulletproof material was penetrated [ Fig.…”

The increased use of fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites for improved efficiency and reliability in energy related applications e.g. wind and marine turbine blades, nacelles, oil and gas flexible risers, also increases the demand for innovative non-destructive testing technologies. Thus, in order to achieve increased acceptance of suited and optimized non-destructive testing (NDT) methods in industry, the European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP) project ENG57 Validated Inspection Techniques for Composites in Energy Applications (VITCEA) deals with the development and validation of innovative NDT technologies. In this contribution, results concerning thermographic investigations at test specimens during tensile loading and active thermography testing after tensile loading are presented. Additionally, the determination of the optical properties (relative transmittance and directional spectral emissivity) of CFRP and GFRP test specimens is described.
