Abstract
Performance of a thermal line scanning nondestructive evaluation system for low-diffusivity materials was studied using PVC samples having flat bottom holes. The measurements were also simulated numerically, and these results were compared with the experimental results. Multiple scans over the damaged area were found to significantly improve the contrast in thermal images.
