Impact damage in fiber reinforced plastics like CFRP and GFRP provide high challenges to non-destructive testing (NDT). The anisotropic material structure significantly complicates the interpretation of results in conventional testing. Resonant frequency sweep thermography (RFST) based on local defect resonance combined with well-known ultrasonic thermography enables fast and simple detection of relevant impact damages. RFST utilizes frequency sweep excitation within the low and middle kilohertz band for activation of defect-, hardware- and specimen resonances. Resonances amplify the acoustic defect activation by orders of magnitude and lead to a significant enhancement of the thermal signal that is based on crack friction as well as visco-elastic heating and can be detected on the specimen surface by an infrared camera. The detection threshold depends on the excitation power and the distance of the defect to the ultrasonic source. Thus a prototype tripod with integrated IR-camera and ultrasonic excitation was developed. It stands out due to its simple handling and flexible applications. Augmented reality assists with testing result interpretation and defect marking by projecting the resulting image onto the part surface. In this article, first results made from a series of impact damages in CFRP of varying energy and size are presented. Here, damages of a projected area greater than one inch diameter can safely be detected within one minute of testing.
