Detection of Defects in Pipelines Using Transient Analysis Of Thermal-Induced FluxG. Basile, C. Clienti, G.A. Fargione, A.L. Geraci, A. Risitano Through a study of the current state-of-the-art techniques used to find hidden defects in steel elements, this experiment attempted to create a new methodology, simple and practicable on the field, for risk assessment, monitoring, and planning control of interconnected piping in oil refineries with the use of thermal infrared imagery. |

Coating and Characterization of Energetic MaterialsDoug Compton, Dr. Emily Hunt, and Dr. Matt Jackson This project develops a method of manufacturing Plastic Bonded Explosives using precision control of agglomeration and coating of energetic powders. |

Coating and Characterization of Energetic MaterialsKevin L. Young, Mike Hart, Jeffrey D. Jones, and Kirk Dooley This paper describes how infrared cameras were used to 1) help determine the methodology for safely reacting residual sodium within the stainless steel and chromoly cooling loop pipes, 2) non-intrusively identify locations of sodium blockages or build-ups of sodium within the pipes, and 3) safely monitor the progress of the actual sodium remediation work. |

Detection of Surface Defects on Sheet Metal Parts Using One-Shot Deflectometry in the Infrared RangeZoltán Sárosi, Wolfgang Knapp, Andreas Kunz, and Konrad Wegener A device capable of displaying a reference pattern at the infrared wavelengths was developed. This single infrared reference pattern is reflected from the surface of the raw sheet metal object and the reflected image is captured by a thermo-camera. |

The Corpse Flower: A Thermographer’s PerspectiveSteve Mirowski and Steven Kramer The Amorphophallus Titanum, Titan Arum (the Corpse Flower) is a rare specimen, with limited observational opportunities. The fact that it experiences metabolic heat generation makes it an enticing subject for a thermographer. |
 |
NDT in Composite Materials with Flash, Transient, and Lockin ThermographyMarkus Tarin and Ralph Rotolante Composites are now used in everything from aircraft to prosthetics. This paper will discuss three thermographic NDT techniques currently in use for the detection and measurement of defects in composites such as impact damage, delamination, voids, inclusions, and stresses. |

Effects of Heat on Firearm BarrelsMatthew Iannone The purpose of this study is to examine the advantage of using a thermal imaging system to capture the effects of heat on gun barrels. The thermal imaging camera will provide such data as the temperatures reached and the distribution of heat along the barrel. |
 |
Thermal Imaging of Power MOSFETs under Thermal Runaway ConditionsJack Shue and Henning Leidecker Using a thermal camera and an oscilloscope to look at the voltage and current internal to the MOSFET, we can gain an understanding of how a hot spot develops on the surface of the MOSFET. |
