Research data underlying the publication: Shearography pair method for reliable non-destructive inspection of millimeter and submillimeter defects in fiber-reinforced composites

This data refers to shearography measurements (in .bmp format) of an aerospace CFRP laminate with flat bottom holes as reference defects (0.4-3.0 mm in diameter) with thermal loading. The data was acquired using a shearing camera including a Pilot piA2400 camera (2456 × 2058 pixels) by Basler with a Linos MeVis-C 1.6/25 lens and a spectral bandpass filter (center wavelength of 532 nm with bandpass of 4 nm). The measurements were conducted in the Aerospace NDT Laboratory of the Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, during July 2023. A Readme file is also included to summarize the dataset description.
