A LabVIEW program has been developed together with simple infrared thermography(IRT) system to control the lock-in conditions of the system efficiently. The IR imaging software was designed to operate both of infrared camera and halogen lamp by synchronizing them with periodic sine signal based on thyristor(SCR) circuits. LabVIEW software was programmed to provide users with screen-menu functions by which it can change the period and energy of heat source, operate the camera to acquire image, and monitor the state of the system on the computer screen. In experiment, lock-in IR image for a specimen with artificial hole defects was obtained by the developed IRT system and compared with optical image.

In this paper, a method is tested to measure temperatures in high-temperature welds. Protective glass was installed between an infrared thermal imaging camera and a heat source, and temperature compensation was applied to the measuring instruments. When the temperature of halogen lamps was taken in real-time and measured by the thermal camera, the temperature was found to be almost invariant with the distance between the camera and heat source. The temperature range could be predicted, through correlations with the thickness of the protective glass and the measured distance. This study suggests that the temperature measurement of welds obtained by using an infrared thermal imaging camera is valid, through experimental testing of heat sources.

This study detected SCC defects of dissimilar metal welded(STS304 and SA106 Gr. b) pipes using the ultrasonic infrared thermography method and the lock-in image treatment method among infrared thermography method. The infrared excitement equipment has 250 Watt of output and 20 kHz of frequency. By using the ultrasound infrared thermography method, the internal defects of dissimilar metal weld joints of pipes used at nuclear power plants could get detected. By an actual PT test, it was observed that the cracks inside the pipe existed not as a single crack but rather as a multiple cracks within a certain area and generated a hot spot image of a broad area on the thermography image. In addition, UT technology could not easily defects detected by the width of $10\;{\mu}m$ fine hair cracks. but, ultrasound infrared thermography technique was defect detected.

Steel corrosion in concrete is a main cause of deterioration and early failure of concrete structures. A novel integration of electromagnetic heat induction and infrared (IR) thermography is proposed for nondestructive detection of steel corrosion in concrete, by taking advantage of the difference in thermal characteristics of corroded and non-corroded steel. This paper focuses on experimental investigation of the concept. An inductive heater is developed to remotely heat the embedded steel from concrete surface, which is integrated with an IR camera. Concrete samples with different cover depths are prepared. Each sample is embedded with a single rebar in the middle, resulting an identical cover depth from the front and the back surfaces, which enable heat induction from one surface and IR imaging from the other simultaneously. The impressed current (IC) method is adopted to induce accelerated corrosion on the rebar. IR video images are recorded during the entire heating and cooling periods. The test results demonstrate a clear difference in thermal characteristics between corroded and non-corroded samples. The corroded sample shows higher rates of heating and cooling than those of the non-corroded sample. This study demonstrates a potential for nondestructive detection of rebar corrosion in concrete.

우리는 황토 조명등을 제작하여 원 적외선 발생 실험을 하였다. 실험에는 백열전구 200W, 실내온도 21도, 습도 38%의 조건에서 열화상실험과 TF-IR(적외선 분광방사 측정장치)에 의한 원적외선 방사한도를 측정하였으며, 그 결과 방사율 0.914와 방사에너지 6.23$\times$$10^2$ (w/$m^2$.$\mu\textrm{m}$) 가 얻어졌다. 이와 같은 결과로 황토조명등에서 원적외선이 발생한 것을 확인하였다.

Temperature distribution and heating characteristic of the panel heater for infrared heating have been investigated. The temperature variation with time is firstly measured with the thermocouple to figure out the response time of the heater to the power input. The heater reaches faster to the steady state in comparison to the ceramic heater. The infrared thermal imaging system is utilized to investigate the temperature distribution over the heater surface. The measured thermal images show that the thermal boundary layer induced by the free convection near the heater surface affects the temperature distribution on the surface. The images also show the fairly good uniformity of the temperature distribution in the core region of the surface.

오존에 의한 식물체의 가시피해 발현 이전에 나타나는 비가시적 피해를 찾아내기 위하여 적외선 열화상장치(infrared thermography)를 이용하여 하루 8시간씩 0.3 ppm 오존에 노출된 나팔꽃(Ipomoea purpurea)잎표면의 온도분포 변화를 조사하였다. 노출 첫날에는 온도분포의 뚜렷한 변화를 볼 수 없었다. 노출 2일째, 오존 노출 2시간 결과후, 완전히 자란 제3엽의 특정 부분에서 급격한 온도분포 변화를 보였으며, 그로부터 약 4시간 경과 후에 동일 지점에서 최초의 가시적 피해가 발생했다. 급격한 온도분포 변화를 보인 부분과 최초 가시피해가 발생한 부분이 일치한 점은 가시피해 발생과 그 이전의 온도분포 변화가 밀접하게 상관되어 있다는 것을 의미한다고 하겠다. 잎표면의 열화상 분석방법을 대기오염원에 의한 식물체의 가시피해 발현 이전에 진행되고 있는 비가시적 반응의 조기진단에 적용할 수 있으며 생태환경 친화적인 대기 환경관리를 위한 대기오염원은 배출조절용 생체반응기(biosensor)로 이용 가능하겠다.

Fatigue crack was detected from a temperature change around surface crack using the thermographic technique. Thermal gradient across the crack decreased very much due to thermal resistance of contact surface in the crack. Heat diffusion flow passing through the discontinuity was visualized in temperature by infrared camera to find and locate the crack. A fatigue crack specimen(SM-45C), which was prepared according to KS specification and notched in its center to initiate fatigue crack from the notch tip, was heated by halogen lamp at the end of one side to generate a heat diffusion flow in lateral direction. A abrupt jump in temperature across the fatigue crack was observed in thermographic image, by which the crack could be located and sized from temperature distribution.

전력사용량이 산업발전과 더불어 기하급수적으로 증가하고 있으며, 한정된 공간내에서 대용량의 전력설비를 설치하기 위해 폐쇄형 배전반이 운영되고 있다. 한국전기안전공사에서 발표한 통계자료에 의하면, 고압이상 전기설비 검사결과 절연내력이 불합격인 경우가 다수 발생하고 있으며, 이는 아크 플래시 사고의 원인이다. 특히 수배전반의 경우 부하설비 또는 외부의 영향을 확인할 수 있는 장치 및 보호설비가 설치되어 있으나 자체 안전장치가 마련되어 있지 않아 자체사고를 신속히 검출하고 판단할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 해상도가 낮은 저가의 열화상 센서에 고속 DSP를 사용하여 영상처리 기법인 이차원 보간 법으로 해상도를 올려서 사용하는 기술을 이용하여 아크에 의해 발생되는 열특성을 검출하고 검출된 데이터를 전송하여 전기화재사고를 미연에 방지할 수 있는 장치 개발을 위한 기초 특성조사를 실시하였다.
