Conclusions
This research has proven the feasibility of the application of FDT and DC subtraction to corrosion fatigue modeling. An accurate model was created, and experiments were used to find the best dynamic heat pattern to detect the corrosion. This research should be followed with measurements to determine the error associated with heat dissipation around the corrosion which hinders detection. This, along with temperature measurements on the specimen, will lead to a scheme of corrosion quantification.
