“…Welded multilayered structures, due to their capabilities of high-intensity structure, good thermal conductivity and corrosion and radiation resistance, are widely used in the nuclear power, military and chemical industries. During the fabrication and servicing of multilayered structures, such defects as delamination and disbonding may occur at the bonding surface due to thermal stress, radiative fatigue, insufficient welding or other causes [14,15]. Delamination defects may reduce structural strength, worsen heat transfer capability and cause irreparable failure.…”

Inverse analysis is a promising tool for quantitative evaluation offering informative model-based prediction and providing accurate reconstruction results without pre-inspections for characterization criteria. For traditional defect inverse reconstruction, a large number of parameters are required to reconstruct a complex defect, and the corresponding forward modelling simulation is very time-consuming. Such issues result in ill-posed and complex inverse reconstruction results, which further reduces its practical applicability. In this paper, we propose and experimentally validate an inversion technique for the reconstruction of complexly-shaped delamination defects in a multilayered metallic structure using signals derived from infrared thermography (IRT) testing. First, we employ a novel defect parameterization strategy based on Fourier series fitting to represent the profile of a complicated delamination defect with relatively few coefficients. Secondly, the multi-medium element modelling method is applied to enhance a FEM fast forward simulator, in order to solve the mismatching mesh issue for mesh updating during inversion. Thirdly, a deterministic inverse algorithm based on a penalty conjugate gradient algorithm is employed to realize a robust and efficient inverse analysis. By reconstructing delamination profiles with both numerically-simulated IRT signals and those obtained through laser IRT experiments, the validity, efficiency and robustness of the proposed inversion method are demonstrated for delamination defects in a double-layered plate. Based on this strategy, not only is the feasibility of the proposed method in Infrared thermography NDT validated, but the practical applicability of inversion reconstruction analysis is significantly improved.
