Description: This publication presents an up to date coverage of infrared thermography applied in the context of improved industrial activity and quality through automated inspection and control. It puts together concise and complete information on thermal non-destructive evaluation (NDE), a method for testing without damage, not yet available in an integrated, stand-alone format. All concepts discussed are explained in full and many industrial applications of the covered subjects are presented. Although the book is complete by itself extensive references to relevant research papers are given for further reading. Nondestructive Evaluation of Materials by Infrared Thermography is intended for a wide audience. It will help industrial engineers to implement nondestructive evaluation methods on the production line and enlarge their knowledge of industrial inspection techniques. It can also be used as a teaching aid at universities and colleges, especially in materials engineering curricula. Finally research centres will find it valuable as a reference book about thermal NDE.
