  Topic : Infrared thermography technique to monitor the behaviour of composites with defect under dynamic loading. Development of a novel method to use infrared thermography technique for the quantitative analysis of delamination area in composites under fatigue loading. To demonstrate this method, a coupon was developed with double shear configuration and an initial delamination consisting of a PTFE insert. The coupon was tested under fatigue loading and an infrared (IR) camera was used to monitor the thermal response and delamination growth of the coupon during loading. The data from the thermal camera was processed in 2 steps, firstly a fast Fourier transform (FFT) was used to transform the raw data from time domain to frequency domain. In the second step, FFT thermographs were further processed using an image segmentation algorithm. Here, the thermal plots are segmented to separate the delaminated and un-delaminated areas. By computing the number of pixels in the delaminated region, the area of delamination was obtained at each cycle and has been plotted against the cycles to failure. Such signals allowed computing the fatigue propagation curves and understanding the fatigue behaviour of the test samples. This method looked promising and can be extended to different conditions.
