2.3 Heat Conducting Properties of Materials<br />

The use of infrared themlography for nondestructive material testing is<br />

generally based on the assumption that uniform structural continuity provides<br />

uniform thermal continuity. Both unstimulated and stimulated approaches to<br />

thermographic material testing depend on this assumption. as will be<br />

discussed in greater detail in Chapters 4 and 5. It is necessary. therefore, that<br />

the thermographer have a clear basic understanding of the manner in which<br />

heat flows within a material and the material properties that affect this flow.<br />
