Author:Zondi, MC; Tekane, Yanga C; Magidimisha, Edwin; Wium, Elsmari; Gopal, Ajith K; Bemont, CDate:Sep 2017Infrared (IR) thermography is a technique used to measure temperature distribution of heat generation in manufacturing processes such as welding. IR thermography is a non-destructive and non-contact method, which makes it favoured for the arc ...Read more
Author:Mwakikunga, Bonex W; Mudau, AE; Brink, N; Willers, Cornelius JDate:Sep 2011We observe the “invisible-to-the- naked-eye” flames of tungsten and vanadium ethoxide aerosols when ignited at moderate laser excitation (0 < Plaser< 70 W) by employing an IR thermo-graphic camera. No emission is seen in the visible range ...Read more
Author:Kononov, VADate:Sep 2002This project is the continuation of GAP706 “Pre-feasibility investigation of infrared thermography for the identification of loose hangingwall and impending falls of ground”. The main concept behind the infrared thermography method is that ...Read more
Author:Kononov, VADate:Sep 2000This report presents the results of a pre-feasibility study of Infrared (IR) Thermography/Radiometry for detection of loose rock in hard rock mines. The method is based on the temperature difference (gradient) between solid rock and the tip ...Read more
