Example of use of numerical simulation to help NDT experimental procedure

The paper presents the results of the research carried out on two samples made of phenoxy resin and phenoxy resin containing copper fibers, consequently by means of transient thermography. The experiment has been done together with numerical simulation. The goal of the research was to find the possibility of using numerical simulation for prediction of the results before starting with real experiment. Namely numerical analysis enable one to simulate a set of experiments on the computer and to select the proper parameters for real one. The further advantage of the numeric is a possibility for observing the temperature fields on various planes inside the sample.
