Simulações computacionais para termografia infravermelha aplicada a materiais compósitos

Abstract

Composites are extremely important materials in the modern industry since they guarantee properties that other materials acting alone could not, as they combine hardness and strength with a reduced mass. Given its importance, the present study seeks to find a more effective way of identifying inclusions and defects in parts produced in composite materials. Using infrared thermography tests, the part is subjected to a heat flow and each material reacts differently, and it is possible to identify patterns that indicate the presence of an inclusion. With a computational materials simulation device, an image pattern can be created that will facilitate the use of composite defects and aid in a repair or material change.
