Infrared thermography is one of the most valuable and cost-effective diagnostic techniques for predictive maintenance on electrical systems. For the electric installations, the thermographies can identify major problems, which if left unattended could lead to breakdowns. The result thermal images depend upon operator skills, inspection technique, and load and weather conditions. When the thermographer is applied to remote monitoring, the conditions of the systems are not perfectly analyzed because operators are hard to know the weather's effects of the installed place. Therefore, this paper defines the effects by weather conditions which will influence the final results. The purpose of this paper is to define the weather effects that a thermographer needs to consider for successful condition analysis.

The lock-in thermography was employed to evaluate the defects in railway bogies. Prior to the actual application on railway bogies, in order to assess the detectability of known flaws, the calibration reference panel was prepared with various dimensions of artificial flaws. The panel was composed of polymer matrix composites, which were the same material with actual bogies. Through lock-in thermography evaluation, the optimal frequency of heat source was determined for the best flaw detection. Based on the defects information, the actual defect assessments on railway bogie were conducted with different types of railway bogies, which were used for the current operation. In summary, it was found that the novel infrared thermography technique could be an effective way for the inspection and the detection of surface defects on bogies since the infrared thermography method provided rapid and non-contact investigation of railway bogies.

This paper explored the results of experimental investigation on carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite sample with thermal wave technique. The thermal wave technique combines the advantages of both conventional thermal wave measurement and thermography using a commercial Infrared camera. The sample comprises the artificial inclusions of foreign material to simulate defects of different shape and size at different depths. Lock-in thermography is employed for the detection of defects. The temperature field of the front surface of sample was observed and analysed at several excitation frequencies ranging from 0.562 Hz down to 0.032 Hz. Four-point methodology was applied to extract the amplitude and phase of thermal wave's harmonic component. The phase images are analyzed to find qualitative and quantitative information about the defects.

The purpose of this study is examine into the application of infrared thermography for voids detect in reinforced concrete structures. In this study, the experiments were carried out for analyze the effect of void size, cover, measurement time and distance on test piece which has artificial voids. Results of this study are as follows. Noiseless and high resolution thermography was acquired 11:00 - 14:00 and the thermography which taken 16:00 was not suitable for void detection. The difference of temperature between voids and solid to identification the existence of voids by eye is $0.3^{\circ}C$.

충격에 의한 복합재 튜브의 내부 박리 현상은 항공 우주 및 자동차 산업 등에서 흔히 발생되어져 왔다. 이러한 복합재 구조물의 안전성을 평가하기 위해서는 적외선열화상기법(IRT)과 같은 복합재 구조물의 내부 결함을 검출할 수 있는 비파피검사가 필요하다. 적외선 열화상 이미지 패턴 분석에 의해서 내부 결함이 발생한 복합재 튜브의 내 외부 결함 부위를 확인할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 적외선열화상기법을 이용하여 충격 하중에 따른 복합재 튜브 표면에서 방출하는 적외선 에너지를 감지하여 열 분배로부터 복합재 튜브의 내부 결함을 검출하는 연구를 수행하였다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to check diagnostic performance of infrared thermography for patients with vascular claudication. Methods : 3 patients with vascular claudication were diagnosed with Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging(DITI) and compared the relative temperature difference between the right and left. Results : Symptomatic legs showed significant low body temperature and at the very site patients complained of pain on, the body temperature differed distinctly between the right and left. Conclusions : Infrared thermographic diagnosis with clinical symptoms may be helpful in diagnosing suspected vascular claudication.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the feasibility of using an infrared thermography technique for phenotype analysis of pepper seedlings exposed to a low-temperature environment. Methods: We employed an active thermography technique to evaluate the thermal response of pepper seedlings exposed to low-temperature stress. The temperatures of pepper leaves grown in low-temperature conditions ($5^{\circ}C$, relative humidity [RH] 50%) for four periods (6, 12, 24, and 48 h) were measured in the experimental setting ($23^{\circ}C$, RH 70%) as soon as pepper seedling samples were taken out from the low-temperature environment. We also assessed the visible images of pepper seedling samples that were exposed to low-temperature stress to estimate appearance changes. Results: The greatest appearance change was observed for the low-temperature stressed pepper seedlings that were exposed for 12 h, and the temperature from these pepper seedling leaves was the highest among all samples. In addition, the thermal image of low-temperature stressed pepper seedlings for 6 h exhibited the lowest temperature. Conclusions: We demonstrated that the leaf withering owing to the water deficiency that occurred under low-temperature conditions could induce an increase in temperature in plant leaves using the infrared thermography technique. These results suggested that the time-resolved and averaged thermal signals or temperatures of plants could be significantly associated with the physiological or biochemical characteristics of plants exposed to low-temperature stress.

The diagnosis of the main complications resulting from lipoabdominoplasty has not yet been standardized. Infrared thermal imaging has been used to assess possible complications, such as necrosis and changes in micro- and macro-circulation, based on perforator mapping techniques, among others. The objective of this study was to present two clinical cases involving thermal imaging monitoring of the healing process of lipoabdominoplasty in the immediate postoperative evaluation and its preliminary results. Infrared thermography was performed 24 hours after the operation and on postoperative days 5, 25, and 27. In clinical case 1, it was found that the delta-R (∆T_R)-defined as the difference in minimum temperature between the highest and lowest points in the SA3 region (caution suction area) following the classification established by Matarasso-was 0.4℃ at 24 hours after surgery and decreased to 0.1℃ on a postoperative day 5. There were no complications in this case. In contrast, in clinical case 2, the ∆T_R was 1.7℃ at 24 hours after surgery (upon hospital discharge) and remained high, at 2.2℃, on postoperative day 5. A higher ∆T_R was found in the second patient, who developed necrosis of the surgical wound. The ∆T_R thermal index may be a new tool for predicting possible complications, complementing the clinical evaluation and therapeutic decision-making.

최근 들어 적외선을 이용하여 콘크리트 구조물의 결함 또는 공동 등을 평가하려는 비파괴 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있으며, 이는 유지관리기법의 중요한 부분을 이루고 있다. 적외선 화상분석(Infrared Thermography)을 콘크리트 표면에 적용할 경우, 콘크리트의 표면온도는 표면을 구성하는 재질과 열적특성(비열, 열전도율, 열전달율)에 따라 그 응답이 다르게 나타나게 된다. 서로 다른 배합을 가지는 시멘트 모르타르에서는 공극률이 다르게 구성되고, 표면에서 공극률의 차이는 열에 노출된 뒤, 냉각되는 과정에서 열적 거동이 다르게 평가된다. 한편 이러한 공극률은 강도 및 염화물 확산계수와 같은 역학적/내구적 특성에 영향을 주기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 외부에서 열을 가하여 측정하는 능동방식(active type)을 이용하여, 표면의 온도변화를 분석하였다. 물-시멘트비 55%와 65%인 시멘트 모르타르 시편을 제작하였으며, 공극률, 압축강도, 염화물 확산계수 등의 물리적 특성값들이 평가되었다. 이후 동일한 실내조건(온도 $20{\sim}22^{\circ}C$, 습도 55-60%)에서 적외선 화상분석 기법을 적용하였다. 시간의 경과에 따라 공극을 많이 포함하는 시편의 경우, 표면 온도가 상대적으로 증가하였으며, 온도가 일정해지는 시점(임계시점)이 단축되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 특성은 콘크리트와 같이 공극과 골재를 가지고 있는 복합재료의 품질 평가에 적용할 수 있음을 시사한다. 한편 공극률과 실험상수를 고려하여, 공극률에 따라 변화하는 임계시간에 대한 계산식을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 시멘트 모르타르의 공극량의 변화에 따른 물리적 변화와 이에 따른 열특성 변화가 논의될 것이다.

본 논문에서는 비접촉 손상검출기법으로 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 열화상 기법의 기본 원리, 활용 예, 제한 사항 등을 국내외 주요 연구성과를 분석하고 정리하였다. 콘크리트 구조물의 내부 결함 진단, 내부 철근 부식 측정과 콘크리트 구조물 표면과 섬유 보강 시트 사이의 비부착 검출, 포장도로의 표면 결함 검출, 오래된 건물의 표면 누수 측정, 철도 트랙 자갈의 상태 측정 등을 최근 연구결과 중심으로 광범위하게 검토하였고 최근에 보고된 실험결과도 제시하였다. 검토 결과, 열화상 기법은 광범위한 형태의 토목 구조물의 넓은 표면을 빠르게 정성적으로 검사할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 반면, 정량적 기법은 주변 온도 등 환경 요인에 민감하게 영향을 받는 것으로 판단되었으며, 다른 정밀계측장비와 혼용시 좋은 성과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 예측된다.
