Damage Assessment in High Temperature Materials.
Abstract
An Echotherm thermal wave imaging system was acquired from Thermal Wave Imaging, Inc. of West Bloomfields, Michigan and implemented as a nondestructive evaluation in our laboratory at Wayne State University. The DURIP grant was matched by Wayne State University. The equipment implementation was completed by end of January, 2000. The thermal wave imaging equipment was checked for its capability in assessment of damage in various materials systems which included thermal barrier coatings, adhesively bonded composites and SiC/SiC woven ceramic composites. The results show great promise in damage assessment for these material systems currently under investigation in our laboratory. The equipment gives us an exceptional capability in interrogating material damage in advanced material systems and can be used in important programs from U.S. Air Force and other agencies and industry.
