Transient thermography non-destructive evaluation methods are being used in aerospace industry to inspect flaws and damages for various composite materials. The purpose of this paper is to establish a set of guidelines for testing Carbon Fiber Reinforced Panels (CFRP) panels using infrared thermography. These guidelines insure that the inspection process is efficient and effective. Samples with simulated defects were made and modeled using a finite element program. Heat will be applied to the models and the temperature profiles analyzed. Along with changing the heat and time, different post-processing techniques were used to improve the method in determining defects in the sample. Once this has been optimized, actual CFRP panels with the same simulated defects were experimentally tested using the conditions from the analytical model. The analytical and experimental data was compared to insure that the testing process has been optimized. A standardized process was developed for evaluating the CFRP panels using infrared thermography.
