Title: Method for measuring thermal properties using a long-wavelength infrared thermal image

Abstract

A method for estimating the thermal properties of surface materials using long-wavelength thermal imagery by exploiting the differential heating histories of ground points in the vicinity of shadows. The use of differential heating histories of different ground points of the same surface material allows the use of a single image acquisition step to provide the necessary variation in measured parameters for calculation of the thermal properties of surface materials.

Method and apparatus for detecting normal cracks using infrared thermal imaging

Patent Sun, Jiangang G.; Erdman, Scott M.

A method and infrared thermal imaging apparatus detects normal and angled cracks on or beneath a sample surface using infrared thermal imaging where the crack plane is perpendicular or angled to an imaged surface of the sample. A constant heating source is used for heating a section of the sample to produce a lateral heat transfer through the sample. An infrared camera is positioned near one side of the sample for receiving thermal image data resulting from the lateral heat transfer through the sample. A data acquisition and processing computer is used for acquiring and differentiation processing thermal image datamore » « less

Method and apparatus for molecular imaging using X-rays at resonance wavelengths

Patent Chapline, Jr., George F. (Alamo, CA)

Holographic X-ray images are produced representing the molecular structure of a microscopic object, such as a living cell, by directing a beam of coherent X-rays upon the object to produce scattering of the X-rays by the object, producing interference on a recording medium between the scattered X-rays from the object and unscattered coherent X-rays and thereby producing holograms on the recording surface, and establishing the wavelength of the coherent X-rays to correspond with a molecular resonance of a constituent of such object and thereby greatly improving the contrast, sensitivity and resolution of the holograms as representations of molecular structures involvingmore » « less

Fiber and bundle orientations, matrix rich regions, and mechanical properties of fiber reinforced composites using thermal digital image correlation

Patent Penumadu, Dayakar; Kant, Matthew Erich

Methods for assessing fiber and bundle orientations and mechanical properties of fiber reinforced composite materials using Thermal Digital Image Correlation (TDIC) are disclosed. In some examples, the method comprises exposing the composite material to a temperature change; imaging the composite material at a plurality of time points before, during and/or after the temperature change; and assessing the characteristic of the composite material based on the imaging. In others, temperature changes naturally occur during the cooling process after manufacturing can be employed for this method such as compression molding process, injection molding process, resin transfer molding processes and its variants.
