Active Infrared Thermography for Non-Destructive Control for Detection of Defects in Asphalt Pavements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Active infrared thermography has been used for the detection of sub surface defects in road materials. The step heating method was selected, and two different infrared cameras selected. Defects were detected with an heating phase as short as 60 seconds. Some images treatments were employed, and have been able to extract signal in spite of the porosity and of the high heterogeneity of a road material. Numerical model calculations were run, and have lead to experimental validations.

Active Infrared Thermography applied to detection and characterization of non emergent defects on asphalt pavement
In this paper, Pulse Thermography analysis was applied to detect non emergent defects in asphalt concrete used for road pavements. Experimental and numerical experimentations were run on this specific heterogeneous material. Only experimental data acquired with an un-cooled microbolometer camera (less sensitive than a cooled one) were used. Data were processed using a semi-infinite heat transfe...
