Popis: A numerical model of passive thermal nondestructive evaluation of composite laminates was developed. This model, based on a transient, three-dimensional, finite difference solution to the heat conduction equations, can be used to characterize in-plane defects in the laminates and to predict the laminate response to the thermal test. The model was experimentally verified using two material systems. A parametric study was then conducted to ascertain which variables were critical to the success of passive thermal NDE, and how flaw resolution might be improved. jg p.4
