Abstract

This research study demonstrates the capability of the virtual wave concept as a feature extraction method for estimating the thermal mismatch of subsurface interfaces within layered materials. The mathematical relationship between
the reflection coefficient of the thermal wave and the virtual wave can be demonstrated. For experimental validation, pulsed thermography in the pulse-echo configuration for different metallic samples is performed. To sum up, this method yields a very good estimation of the interfacial parameters for the analyzed samples.
