###### Abstract  
The application of a novel  
[PERSON] et al. selected glass/epoxy for impact tests by changing, with respect to previous analyses, some parameters and by inline monitoring simultaneously with two different infrared cameras to share a high frame rate and spatial resolution at the same time. In addition, the same material was monitored during quasi-static bending tests, by showing that it is possible to learn from thermal signatures when glass/epoxy is either impacted or under quasi-static bending [18]. [PERSON] et al. retraced some of the IRT applications (both in the laboratory and in situ) performed by her research team at National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece, over the course of time. All these data and accumulated knowledge and experience contributed to a set of recommendations, which enabled the team itself to compile a protocol for the application of this technique in a more standardized way. The successful application and integration of this technique was demonstrated in large-scale conservation projects [19]. The paper written by [PERSON] et al. presents the estimation of thermo-physical parameters \(k\) and \(\rho c_{p}\) in Guadua angustifolia kunth (Guadua a.k.) bamboo through non-linear least squares optimization and infrared thermography. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to determine how the temperature on the bamboo surface is affected by changes in the convection coefficient \(h\), thermal conductivity \(k\), and volumetric heat capacity \(\rho c_{p}\). In spite of the non-linearity and high correlation in the parameters of the inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP), it was found that the estimation of such parameters is robust and consistent with those reported in the literature [20]. [PERSON] et al. focused attention on the detection of corrosion working with IRT to heat up the rebar by resistive or inductive heating. It was found that, in both cases, monitoring the dynamic temperature distributions on the pole allowed for the evaluation of reinforcement quality. In fact, the magnitude of temperature anomalies and their behavior over time depend on the presence of corrosion products, air gaps, and the quality of contact between rebar and concrete [21]. [PERSON] et al. wrote a paper in which a numerical model of a bicycle frame was updated and optimized by the surface temperature distribution captured with pulsed thermography. The results were compared and benchmarked against frequency response function (FRF) measurement data as a reference. The chosen temperature decay measurement used as reference data was of key importance. In fact, the goal of the manuscript was to compare both measurement results and model predictabilities after performing finite element model updating with respect to accuracy and speed [22]. [PERSON] and [PERSON] investigated a carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) consisting of internal artificial delaminations of various sizes and depth locations by means of optical pulsed thermography for the retrieval of quantitative depth information. The main goals of the work were the evaluation of the produced depth estimation accuracy from two contrast-based depth inversion procedures, as well as the correlation of the acquired results with characteristics such as the location and size of the detected features and with analysis parameters such as the selection of the sound area. A quantitative analysis was performed in both the temporal and frequency domains. The results showed that the two different analyses provided efficient depth estimations, with frequency domain analysis demonstrating greater accuracy. Finally, predicting errors were observed in both cases and the factors responsible for these errors were defined and discussed [23]. [PERSON] et al. applied thermographic non-destructive inspection methods to evaluate and characterize basalt, jute/hemp and bagasse fiber composite panels. Different defects were found in terms of impact damage, delaminations and resin abnormalities.
