As a general rule, only college phys ics, mathematics and general instrumentation knowledge is necessary. Part II concerns active and passive thermography. Thus, the active thermogra phy presentation elaborates on the various stimulation schemes such as pulse, step, and modulated, while special attention is paid to data analysis, since active thermography is often deployed for quantitative characterization. In Part III , case studies are presented for both active and passive thermography, including external and internal stimula tion, preventative maintenance for electrical utilities, passive thermography for the construction industry and evaluation of material thermal diffusivity. This allows a summary of the material previously discussed in the representative applica tions.
All chapters end with problems.
Materials draws on case studies to illustrate major points. Since the book does not contain color plates, it is possible to download the files corresponding to those figures originally in color. No warranty of conformity is provided. Use at your own risk.
