heal.abstract	GLAss REinforced (GLARE) is a fibre metal laminate (FML) consisting of alternating layers of thin aluminium and glass fibre reinforced prepregs, whose improved physical properties confer it an interesting advantage over aluminium and composite materials for a number of aerospace applications. On the other hand, contrary to monolithic structures, GLARE can suffer from internal damage either during fabrication or in-serve stages. Non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) of GLARE is still a challenge, especially considering that large structures are typically sought (e.g., aircraft fuselage). In this paper, we investigated the use of infrared thermography for the inspection of GLARE. The experimental results presented herein demonstrate that it is possible to detect delamination-type defects and to assess the impact severity on GLARE through active thermography techniques, specifically pulsed thermography and vibrothermography. C-scan ultrasonic testing was performed as well with the intention of providing supplementary results. Copyright © 2011 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.	en
