Triangulation method for structure functions of multi-directional heat-flows

In this paper previous results proposed by the authors for localizing defects in components and packages by means of structure functions in three-dimensional heat diffusion problems have been generalized. To this aim a novel traingulation approach is presented based on the use of structure functions corresponding to dinstinct heat sources.
