Abstract

A method for nondestructive vibrothermography inspection of a component, the method includes generating ultrasonic excitations in a component over a range of frequencies; determining a thermal signature in the component from the excitations; registering a model with the thermal signature; determining damage based on the thermal signal and model; and classifying the component based on the determining.
