  • Thermographic system and method for detecting imperfections within a bond
    Publication number: 20040076216
    Abstract: A thermographic detection system (10) and method for detecting imperfections within a bond (23) of a structure (14′). The system (10) includes a cooling device (32) for nondestructively cooling a bonded region (24) of the structure (14′). A thermal sensor (34) detects thermal changes within the bonded region (24) and generates a thermal signal. A thermal indicator (36) is electrically coupled to the thermal sensor (34) and indicates the thermal changes in response to the thermal signal.
