In Search of Early Time: An Original Approach in the Thermographic Identification of Thermophysical Properties and Defects

Figure 11

Simulation results: (a) identification of the depth profile of a circular defect and using the early detection/characterization with extrapolation to zero contrast and comparison to the results obtained with the maximum and half maximum contrast techniques (simulation results taken from Krapez and Balageas [18]), revisited using a linear extrapolation [19, 20]; (b) identification of the thermal resistance profile, taken from [20].
