Abstract:A thermal-imaging apparatus is disclosed for the nondestructive detection of subsurface defects in materials which would not usually lend themselves to thermal imaging because of their low emissivity and high susceptibility to background reflection noise. This is accomplished by transferring the thermal image produced by surface temperature perturbation of ABSTRACT A thermal-imaging apparatus is disclosed for the nondestructive detection of subsurface defects in materials which would not usually lend themselve… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
