Abstract

This work demonstrates a finite element analysis based modeling and simulation study for finding out the defect detection capabilities of frequency modulated thermal wave imaging technique. A structural steel specimen with hidden subsurface slags and inclusions such as calcium fluoride, silicon dioxide and air of various sizes and shapes, is considered. Pulse compression based correlation processing scheme is adopted on the generated temporal temperature data and comparisons have been made with the conventional widely used frequency domain phase based approach.
