Optical non-destructive testing (NDT) has gained more and more attention in recent years,
mainly because of its non-destructive imaging characteristics with high precision and …

Insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules are important safety critical components in
electrical power systems. Bond wire lift-off, a plastic deformation between wire bond and …

Eddy current pulsed thermography (ECPT) has been used in the characterization of Rolling
Contact Fatigue (RCF) cracks in rail by taking advantage of electromagnetic thermal …

Eddy current pulsed thermography (ECPT) is an emerging nondestructive testing and
evaluation (NDT&E) technique and has been applied for a wide range of conductive …

This paper investigates two non-destructive evaluation methods, magnetic flux leakage
(MFL) and eddy current pulsed thermography (ECPT), for both artificial and natural multiple …

In the last few years, induction thermography has been established as a non-destructive
testing method for localizing surface cracks in metals. The sample to be inspected is heated …

Eddy current pulsed thermography (ECPT) applies induction heating and a thermal camera
