Abstract
In order to manufacture the fibre glass wind blades, one kind of mould embedded with heating wire is used not only for making numerous 'copies' of the original sample, and also heating the mould to a certain temperature for curing. The heating wire is embedded in fibre glass as a sandwich structure, and it may break after a long time usage at high temperatures. In this study, a high voltage discharging (HVD) circuit is used to trigger HVD at the breakpoint, which generates heat and therefore causes temperature increase at the corresponding front surface, one infrared camera is used to monitor the temperature evolution. It successfully and quickly detects breakpoints in spar moulds.
