Unstimulated and Stimulated Approaches to <strong>Infrared</strong> Materials Flaw<br />

Detection<br />

Materials discontinuity detection based on thermal capacitance differences is<br />

similar to that based on thermal resistance differences in that a stimulated<br />

approach may be used when the desired characteristic thermal pattern on the<br />

product surface cannot be madc to occur, or when the material samples or<br />

products are to be evaluated after manufacture. As previously discussed, this<br />

can involve thermal injection in a variety of forms, but it can also involve<br />

thermal extraction, or the removal of heat from the sample by introducing<br />

some form of cooling.<br />
