The proposed method is based on baseline signal stretch with an improved minimum residual allowing correction over a larger temperature range. The effectiveness of the proposed approach in detecting (artificial) damages is demonstrated experimentally over a large temperature. The method is also shown to accurately detect and localise a crack in an aluminium panel and actual impact damage on a CFRP panel.© The Author(s) 2016.
