Lock-in induction thermography was carried out on uniaxial, biaxial, and multi-ply woven carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) at an induction frequency of approximately 300 kHz and at modulation frequencies of 0.4-36 Hz to detect defects in them. The measurements were performed in reflection and transmission modes. In the uniaxial material, heating occurred far away from the excitation coil. Lines of minimal heating were observed. The modulation frequency dependence of the amplitude showed an inverse proportionality, indicating volume heating. The multi-ply woven CFRP plates with impacts of 3 and 5 J showed distinct contrast because of cracked fibers. The results were compared with those obtained using optically excited thermography and X-ray tomography.
