“…As a result, the mechanical (elastic modulus), electrical, and thermal properties are greatly improved [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Such improvements have contributed to the increased demand and use of carbon fibers [7]. An apt example is the application to the aerospace industry where carbon fiber composite materials have reduced the composite weight by 50% and the overall aircraft weight by 30%.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] One of the most important applications of this technology is to detect the cracks in turbine engine blades which have drawn great attention in NDE testing for the safe running of turbine engines. In turbine engine blades, most cracks are surface connected and often visible with a microscope.…”

Effectively and accurately detecting cracks or defects in critical engine components, such as turbine engine blades, is very important for aircraft safety. Sonic Infrared (IR) Imaging is such a technology with great potential for these applications. This technology combines ultrasound excitation and IR imaging to identify cracks and flaws in targets. In general, failure of engine components, such as blades, begins with tiny cracks. Since the attenuation of the ultrasound wave propagation in turbine engine blades is small, the efficiency of crack detection in turbine engine blades can be quite high. The authors at Wayne State University have been developing the technology as a reliable tool for the future field use in aircraft engines and engine parts. One part of the development is to use finite element modeling to assist our understanding of effects of different parameters on crack heating while experimentally hard to achieve. The development has been focused with single frequency ultrasound excitation and some results have been presented in a previous conference. We are currently working on multi-frequency excitation models. The study will provide results and insights of the efficiency of different frequency excitation sources to foster the development of the technology for crack detection in aircraft engine components.

“…We have demonstrated its wide applications to different types of materials and structures in metal/metal alloy and composites, and detection of various types of defects: surface, subsurface, cracks, delaminations/disbonds. Some of the authors have showed their work in these applications [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Along the path of the development of this technology, we have studied the effect of the input UT source transducer frequency, heating mechanism of certain types of defects, the role of coupling materials, the non-linear phenomena, the effect of crack closure, etc.…”
